A wise friend who had bypass told me that it's funny; her stomach will tolerate a lot more "junk" than it will healthy food. She got herself going in the wrong direction but quickly righted her ship. What the doctors preach is true in every account: Protein first, Protein first, protein first.

I think the time to really focus is long before the six month mark. This isn't really directed at you, because what is done is done, and you just have to do your best to get back on track, but more for people (like me) who are early in their journey.

I think the first year is the time to retrain your brain while the restriction is at it's best, so when your body adjusts and your are able to eat more, you've broken those carb addictions, or whatever your vice may be. I'm not saying I'm going to be perfect in my first year (hell, I'm only three weeks out), but I have to keep reminding myself that the things I'm "giving up" for now may have a small place back in my diet someday, or (even better!) I may not even crave them any more!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
