Hello wondering how people are doing that are around 8 weeks out? Foods, weightloss, excerise, etc...?

HI I'm new to this i am schudled to have my sleeve on july 14. Im just wondering how you have done with it and would you do it again I'm just a bit freaked out! : )

I started working out with a trainer a month out. good luck!

I'll be 8 weeks out on Monday. So far, so good! I have lost 32 lbs since surgery and very happy with my WLS! I have increased my walking and activeness after work each day and joining a gym next week!

I am almost 9 weeks out.

Doing well. I'm done 48 pounds.

Past couple weeks started struggling with Acid.

In general feeling really good. Workout most days.

Strength training and cardio, noticing a consistent increase in strength and fitness.

It is not effortless but it is doable.

To the newbie above who is having surgery July 14. Its so normal to be scared and "freaked out".

I sure was!! I would do it again in a heartbeat. The first few weeks its a huge adjustment.

But I didn't have much pain, for me it was more just working out what to drink and when and etc...

Good luck to everyone, Stay Strong!!

I'm 9.5 weeks out, down 40 lbs. I went back to work after 5 weeks and started with my trainer two weeks ago.

I'm feeling pretty good. Many parts that were aching before the surgery don't hurt now (back, knees). I'm breathing easier. Theater seats are more comfortable. I didn't expect any of that to true until I'd lost much more weight.

I'm still surprised that I am not hungry all the time, or even some of the time.

The only down-side, for me, is that since the surgery I have been more easily fatigued.

I would do this again, feeling better is a great thing, breathing better is amazing!

I will be 8 weeks on Tuesday. I'm having health issues so my activity is slow going. I've lost 35lbs. Congrats on your progress.

I am 9 weeks post, have lost 28. Still have a hard time trying to drink my 64 oz water, and most of the time I am not hungry. I read that is ok to have some bites of baked potatoes, then somewhere else I read is not ok, so I get confused.

You can have it but it just takes up space in your belly that should be used for protein. Carbs leave us qickly but protein gives us the best building blocks for our body. Thats what my surgeon told me when I asked about mashed potatoes.

hello,i am also having trouble getting down my fluids ,i had to stay in the hospital because i was underhydrated and my potassium low and i also developed a blood clot i dont know what to do.but the weight lost is great!
