Kealot,

Don't be discouraged...I understand your feelings. I too heaved a lot except mine was not dry...enough said?! However, I did get past those bad days and moving forward to brighter ones. Still sore also. It will take time. Take care of your new tummy. In a short time from now...you will have no regrets! Hang in there!

I was sleeved on 8/11 and had terrible nausea until yesterday when I came home from the hospital. I definitely was regretting it at the time but when I felt better, although still very sore, I still feel like I made the right decision.

Can I ask how you are doing? Were you happy with Dr S? I have an appt to meet him 6/23. How long was the process for you as far and getting to the surgery? Thanks!

Yes I really like Dr. S and the staff. My first appointment was on 6/25 and had surgery scheduled for 8/12 that same day. They wanted to schedule on 7/14 but I already had plans to be out of town. Process was very easy. I had an appointment with a dietician, psychologist and an egd and that was it. It was the BEST decision I ever made. I am doing great!!!

Do you live in Houston or surrounding area?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
