Hey everyone

I was sleeved on 3-10-16 and I still have my drain. I have to see my Dr tomorrow and see what's going on. The good news is I did the 14 day liquid diet, started on 2-25-16 and to date I have list 24 pounds. I hope we the dr can find out where I'm bleeding and get this drain out.

Good luck All!!!!!

Congratulations on your commitment! It's totally different, this whole 'dieting' thing when you know you're going in for a huge change that requires your strict adherence, and look, you did it!

How are you feeling? You have 'fresh' blood coming out of your drain? Other Vets here on the board will surely chime in. I didn't have a drain so I have no clue if this is normal. I do hope you get some answers and I'd like to know afterwards when you see your Dr. please.

I kept a thermometer and blood pressure cuff at home, I was ridiculous ... still am. :P

Hello, I haven't been on the site for awhile and wanted to post my progress.

As my last post said I still had my drain, well it was removed two days after that post. I feel great and I'm down 45 lbs so far. I'm on soft foods and I haven't had any trouble with any food so far.

I hear a lot of people talking about the three week stall and I'm happy to say I didn't have one. I'm 5 weeks out and 2 weeks of a liquid diet pre-op and loosing every week.

I'm off of 7 meds and no more shots for sugar.........

This is the best thing I ever did for me!!!!

I had a JP drain in my side. This slowly sucks out extra blood and Fluid from the surgery.

Update, down 47 pounds!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
