Thank you everyone. And yes im very glad its been easy so far. Ive heard both sides of the stories positive and negative so yes I was a little scared. But everyone had been very supportive and helpful. I mean my hubby has ate some good looking stuff in front of me but it has not phased me..

I had my surgery on the 8th and am doing well also. I have some pain in my abdomen and moving a little slower but otherwise all the foods I have tried are going down perfectly. My family also laughs at how much I eat now. I chuckle too!

Congrats. Keep those fluids up. Isn't it amazing how you are not hungry anymore. I am at 6 weeks and I can tell you eating will be challenging for a little while but by week 6 you will be able everything your little heart desires within the size limitations. Of course healthy stuff but I must say this is when I have felt normal. I can tell you I feel way better then before surgery. I don't understand how that is given my puny little meals. I would have thought I would be in a very low productivity mode kind of starving to death. But hello, NO, I feel amazing.

Welcome to the other side, the better side! Wait until you see your own pictures and compare to older ones. Don't forget to take pictures. You will love it later.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
