Thank You Everyone! I'm making sure I get enough Protein and started drinking more Water. I eat cottage cheese which helps me get the Protein in. Drinking 64 ops of Water is difficult for me. I'm used to sipping coffee all day. I have more energy since getting sleeved, which is great.

Wish it was warm outside, I'd love to go for a walk.

Spring can't come soon enough!

I was told that much like any weight loss, you need to look at this as kind of a stairway. You will loose, stay still...loose...stay still. and so on......it will depend on the diet and exercise of course. My surgeon requires support groups and a body pump class post op. Can't wait to start those.

Body pump class?

Yes...to keep muscles strong...unfortunately there is also some muscle loss with this surgery so this class is required as a starting point for exercise. We can go to more classes but he requires 8

Do not wait until Spring to exercise. Do something indoors, or join a gym or even take a brisk walk outside!

It's an exercise class? I had no idea what it was.

I was sleeved 11-4-14 and wasn't released to do any exercise until 12-22. However my dr did advise to walk walk walk. Not run but general slow paced walking. It helped prevent gas and kept my body moving and healing. Sitting doing Absolutly nothing is never a good idea. I do understand it's cold outside. However you can always walk in place for 15min ever hour. Those steps add up! Trust me. Before I was discharged after surgery I got up and walked. Just a little up and down the halls. The. I would rest and repeat. The day after surgery I walked 1/2 mile and two days post op I walked over a mile. Simple short walks rest and repeat. I wasn't running a race. I was just moving. I think that helps. I'm down 35lbs but I'm in a stall . :( lack of getting in enough Fluid and calories will stall out your weight loss also. Stay focused and try to add something new each day. If u simply walk to the kitchen to get an ounce of Water or fluid then you will be walking to the kitchen 64 times during the day :) challenge yourself to take 10 more steps today than you did yesterday. Things will fall into place for you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
