Nickybad, I will keep you posted. I have to go in today for a weigh-in at the doctor's office. The liquid diet has been a little tough but seeing the scale down 11+ pounds makes it all worthwhile.

I am so excited that tomorrow is the day!!! Happy dance, happy dance!!!

So, surgery went well. The doctor also repaired a significant sliding hernia. Stayed. In observation room till 5 pm and then went home. Slept pretty good just kept waking up for a minute or two to get comfortable. Felt like I had done 250 sit-ups and belly was sore from it.

The gas pains in my shoulder joints are the most annoying. I get them worked out and they come back. Oh well this so shall pass.

Every time I take a sip of liquid I belch. And I do mean a sip. That is frustrating. I really hope that goes a away soon. And, just on a side note sipping liquid Tylenol is gross.

Better go for now but will check in later.

Nicky, good luck and keep us posted. You will do fine. The biggest challenge yesterday was getting through the anesthesia. It kept me in such a fog and so grogy. Still a little bit today but mech better.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
