Had my post op appointment today (surgery was Oct 14) I have a small infection on the incision from my drain hole but not major, he just said to keep it dry and covered. But I've lost 21 pounds since I start my liquid preop diet! So 21 pounds in 2 weeks :) makes everything worth it. And I also found a Protein Drink I actually like. Isopure zero carb drink. Comes in fruity flavors.

Great job on the weight loss!! Sounds like you are moving along!!! Glad the drain hole wasn't major, I didn't have one with my surgery.

Does anyone take Omega fatty acids in liquid form? I just about threw up when I took it this morning. Any tips?!

Great to hear about the weight loss! And thanks for the protein suggestion. I'm really struggling so I'm going to see if I can order than Isopure zero carb drink online.

So I am home, working on my 1st Protein Shake. I went to Vitamin shop and picked up samples. The Syntrex nectar chocolate truffle is yummy!

I am still in a lot of pain. I am hooked up to an On-Q pain pump. It's hard coming home because my 16 month old is rough and likes to jump all over me. So trying to keep her at bay.

I've heard from a lot of young mother's who are having the same problem with their little ones, she probably missed you while you were in the hospital! Sorry your having trouble with pain, do you think its the gas they pump inside of you? It does take a while to get rid of. The only thing that seemed to help me is the walking & I got some gas x strips which help with the other kind of gas. I think people who have a hernia repair have a little more pain with their surgery sometimes. Sending you hugs & prayers that you will get to feeling better soon!

Thank you. I am passing gas. But you are right about the hernia fix too. forgot about that. I was so out of it yesterday. I am not sure how much is gas vs pain from the inside. If that makes sense. I have been walking and I don't have gas in shoulders or anything.

I got to meet a fellow October patient from this board and that was cool!

      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.
