Hi sleevers ! Regarding going back to work - I waited 3 weeks and now 6 weeks out - I am still not at the energy levels that I hoped. I am a school teacher. I think it really depends on your job, your age, your intake of calories etc. and your general health. I was a major couch potato. Now I'm walking and taking dance lessons (cha cha cha!) so I thought that would up my energy but it really hasn't. Regarding calories - I have had no problem with eating since day 1 and average about 500-800 calories a day with about 60-90 grams of Protein.

All in all I do feel good - and just take naps in the afternoon when I'm really tired. I am getting about 8-10 (sometimes 12!) hours of sleep. I decided I would let my body tell me what to do and not stress about it.

To My Fitness Pall subscribers - I didn't realize we could add people to view our accounts. My logon is estipo if anyone is interested. I didn't keep up with it until the last 3 weeks or so (I'm 6 weeks out).

Unlike others who have posted - my issue is that I am almost always hungry and can eat anything !! Nutritionist and Nurse said that everyone is different - I have a very forgiving sleeve. I am worried though because I can eat up to 800 calories a day - but I am still losing (although slowly).

@@FATBGONE - I'm the same way! I still have hunger and my sleeve let's me eat almost anything! I'm losing slowly but I think that's a good thing.

I have a really hard time remembering to get my Protein in. I get busy and just drink some flavored water to shut up my tummy from growling. I've got to start doing better. I can definitely tell the difference with my weight loss when I get all my protein in.

As for going back to work, I went back to work 10 days after my surgery. I felt really good. I work a desk job from home so that made all the difference. Plus I just think I'm a fast healer and bounce back fairly quickly.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
