I am so glad to hear you found a good NUT and are seeing your doctor. I know it's hard to believe right now, but you will get through this tough time. Keep us posted and just be sure and do what is required to help you heal: Protein, fluids, Vitamins, and keep moving.

I can tell you this, it's gotta be a collective effort between you and the team you are working with.. Its a hard struggle!!!! Yes it is!!! But you have to want and need this for you. I struggled hard within MYSELF not with the decision of having my surgery. food was my friend whether I was feeling happy or sad. It didn't give me negative talk or tell me what I was doing or not doing wrong or right. Food was my go to. And I had to realize and still have to realize that I can't let it control me!!! I've developed reading and journaling as a go to when I want food. It helps or try a game on your phone. I push myself daily to think positive!!! It gets BETTER I SWEAR IT DOES!!!!

You have to have control over it!!! I've also been taking 5-htp to help with my emotions and feelings. Ask your doctor about it

So glad to hear this.

Would you be willing to share any of the tips or insights you received from your surgeon or NUT? You obviously don't have to if its too private, but if you are open to the idea, it might help someone else who is struggling.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
