Congrats and hope that you're doing well!

The best advice from me is to follow your doctor's post-op plan to the letter. I lost most of my weight in 4 months and all I did was do exactly what they told me to do, literally. That means with food introduction, supplements and everything!

Best of wishes to you!

I had mine 5 days ago. Feeling good so far. When I cough deeply is kills me, other than that things are good. I am concerned about not really having bowel movements. Maybe that is more than you want to discuss but I am getting a little worried. Hope you are feeling well

Actually I just had my first bowel movement yesterday, but I had to take a stool softener. Yes I am feeling well! Hope all is well with you!!

I get gas pains every once in a while. They took my drain out before I left the hospital. Just want to warren you, it does hurt a little when they remove the drain.. Good luck! Let me know if you have any questions

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
