Joyce: Fill us in on more details. I don't remember seeing you before now but you must have been here before I started lurking the site. So fill in the details some for us newer folks.

Joyce, how much weight have you lost so far? Are you getting your Protein (preferrably w/ good food choices) in daily? You need 60 grams a day. Are you eating protein first, then vegetables, then if room left -fruits, carbs.? Moist meats are going to give you a sense of "fullness" much longer than liquid Proteins. Are you drinking your Water quota daily (but not w/ meals)? Do you need a fill? Are you having any problem eating (pbing)? Try to find some form of exercise that you enjoy and do it regularly. Come here and "talk" w/ people who really understand how you're feeling. Best of luck to 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? 🤷‍♀️
