Ok so I am 11 days out and discovered I have lactose sensitivity or intolerance, which sucks because I am on Protein Shakes and Greek yogurt and applesauce. I stocked up on rtd premier shakes which apparently have a milk base so of course it makes me nauseous. Then the yogurt turns my sleeve in all kind of ways then bam I'm making a mad dash to the bathroom not knowing which end it's gonna come out of. I'm so confused but I have an appointment with my doc tomorrow to discuss my options, but the good thing is I go to puree stage in 2 days. Fighting this head hunger and can only have sweet stuff like sf Jello and sf popsicles an unsweetened applesauce is killing me. I also added in Prevacid to stop the gurgling in my stomach makes me nauseous as well. Humph I can't win for loose here. The struggle is real here but is almost over.

It appears I am loosing about 2 lbs a day so that's good but wow I wanna eat so bad. If anybody ever say this is the easy way out I want to smack them. This by far is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Just fighting the head hunger alone is so hard especially when your family is endulging in yummy stuff that you just can't have and half of the time you have to prepare it for them.

Yes i had to order some powders waiting for it to arrive, I do have a few sample packs from pre op when I was trying different things to find what I like so I am currently mixing some with Decaf over ice. Thanks

Thanks I saw my doc he gave me an IV with some strong nausea meds and I go back tomorrow for another treatment but I feel like a million bucks right now lol. I'm back to my happy place and weighed in at 310 today wooohooooo! And come to find out I was 339 on day of surgery with the excess gas so even more loss since surgery. Oh and he advanced me on the diet he said I am doing great to start eating soft foods yayy. #winning

You're doing great so far. I have not had any problems with nausea or intolerances. I have lost 8 pounds at pod #9 . I'm a little concerned that I have moved to purée food and I dont feel the same fullness after eating 3-4 bites like a few days ago. Do you think I'm eating too much or my sleeve not working like it shoul. Any suggestions?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
