I'm allowed 900 calories until my surgery. My surgeon has me on two Protein Shakes and a lean cuisine for dinner. If I have extra calorie I can snack on apple slices and baby carrots.

I'm soo excited mine is on the 17th...are any of y'all on a liquid diet yet?

I just got "banded" today. My appointmet was 0800 hours this morning and I was home just after 1:00 P.M. (I had about an hour and a half drive). I'm pretty slow moving, but I'm moving. I can't wait to see the changes in the coming weeks!! Make sure you have the GasX strips. I can definitely feel the gas in my stomach and arms/shoulders areas. Not enough for me to take my pain medication, but a little bit uncomfortable. I'm walking 10 minutes every hour and although uncomfortable (probably from the gas pain), I am able to do it with relative ease.

Good luck on your surgery!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
