Sept 11 my weight loss journey began



Recommended Posts

My name is Kate I'm 34 mother of 2, married. Started at 255.5 lbs at 5'4

Had gastric sleeve done. Can't believe I did it.

How long did it take the pain and bloating to subside. Thurs and Friday were really bad today better.

I had pain for about 5 days, but I had aching and soreness for a good 10-11 days. The bloating subsided a little each day. I couldn't really give you a time frame on that. But I will be three weeks post op on Monday and I am feeling really well. The first 10'days were rough for me. Hope you get well very quickly!

Hi!

Same for me...took a bit for the gas to go away and the bloating. It will get better for you as each day passes.

Good luck and happy recovery!

      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.
