It defiantly does get better! If we all stayed like that it would be a miserable WLS world and nobody would behaving it done...that's your proof. I know it sucks in the beginning but in a month you will not even think about this time. Hang in there!

It gets better. During the first weeks be very, very mindful of hydration, Protein and supplements. You'll bounce back quicker, six months from now your body will thank you.

Be well.

Hi.

The first 2 weeks are the hardest after surgery. Just remember to drink, try to eat, and do alot of walking. You will have no energy, but that too will come back within 2 weeks.

I had my surgery 11/21/14 and I still do not eat alot. I have, maybe, 2 oz of food every 2 hours. It is okay though because I know I am eating correctly. I eat at 630a, 830, 1030, 1230, 230, 430, 630, 830p. I also do alot of walking and was just cleared to go to the gym.

Just sit back and enjoy the journey...it does get better. OHHH....it is okay to cry and have bad days, you will get through it

I'm about where you are and I'm feeling better every day. But I am tired more or less all the time, bored silly, and sick of not being able to do everything I want. And really, REALLY looking forward to getting put on purees next week, woohoo!

Eyes on the prize!

Are you taking something for acid? Prilosec, omeprazole, etc.? It sounds like you really need it, or need more. Talk with your surgeon!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
