One major bummer about staying another day - I'm more out of my mind! I don't have anyone with me and I'm sharing a room with an elderly woman who doesn't have control over her loose bowels ????

I'm starting to walk now but I can still barely get in any Water. There's no way they'll let me leave drinking this little so I need to get my butt in gear. Easier said than done.

@@della street you are running circles around me! Glad you feel so great! I just spoke with my doc's team and it looks like they're letting me leave today! I can't spend anymore time in this joint - the beds, the smells, the sound effects! I'm feeling ok, with some gas pain - but I'm doing some walking to help. My incisions (5) hurt but it's more annoying sore. I still have to up my liquids. How is everyone else doing?

Wahoo @@della street! What about you @@joleno? It's so helpful to know other people going through the same things - even if we did get different procedures done! I'm currently using a smart Water squeeze bottle and I'm legit just letting it dribble into my mouth. It's not much at a time but it's doing the job

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
