Just checking to see how the progress was going? Mine has been pretty good so far but don't want to jinx it. Just a little pain and still sipping slowly.

Hey there! Doing OK. At home now. I am working on the end of a Protein shake. I've only had 15 ounces to drink today, but they said they are OK with that as long as it is increasing each day. Still getting some pain with VERY small sips. Did you get Lovenox or another blood thinner while you were in the hospital?

I did get 2 shots at the hospital. I have discomfort drinking the Protein Shake but managed to get it down with a bottle of Water today. I think that's all I can do today. I'm starting to get the gas pains now that I have read before

Did they give you breathing treatments in the hospital? They gave me 3 they said it was important so I don't get hospital ammonia. I thought that was scary

I'm here with you all. Trying to get all my Water in today. I did have some fluids in hospital before I went home

I also got 3 shots of lovinox in hospital. I always have a post nasal drip and also feel there is some phlegm in the back of my throat. Uncomfortable. When did you all come home. I was told to not start stage 2 shakes, Soup, yogurt etc until tomorrow my first full day at home. Good luck everyone.

I am a week out today and they told me only liquids that could go through a straw for 2 weeks so I am getting down cream of chicken or Tomato Soup and Protein Shakes. Then puréed foods for the next two weeks. Getting staples out tomorrow so I guess I will find out more about what I can purée

      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? 🤷‍♀️
