had my sleeve on april 23rd 2015. surgery went fine and i was up and walking later on the same evening of the surgery. had a little gas issues but nothing major. went home the next day after surgery stayed focused on the Clear Liquids. 2 days post op, i went to the gym and walked a mile before running of of energy. then the next day, i was able to go 2 miles, and my energy level is slowly coming back. im sure it will take time to regain all my strength but im actually shocked at how great i feel so far! looking forward to the next few weeks of my journey!

WOW 2 Miles! Walking is encouraged and needed but man, don't push it! You have wounds inside that needs to close!

You will LOVE how you feel in the coming weeks! There are times when you feel a little disappointed that you can't have something, but the weight loss and the all day energy, without crashes is worth it.

What was hard for me was about 2 weeks out when I felt great and its easy to forget you had the surgery and you want to eat the things you had been... but intellectually, you know you can't.

I'm 48 days and learning a whole new way of eating and its a lot better food than I thought!

Take it easy!

i guess the reason i feel well enough, or have the strength to do my walking is contributed to the fact that i was walking 3-5 miles a day leading up to surgery. i had lost almost 40 lbs from walking/working out but couldnt keep the weight off. i was successful losing on several diets with exercise, but always put it right back on.. i feel great so i push on. if i feel any reason to not walk, i wont, but feel like if i have the energy to why not...

      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? 🤷‍♀️
