Well girls I am back in hospital....came into ER yesterday...I can not poop..... worst then having a baby. I won't go into details but after 12 hours in ER I was admitted.

I don't have any regrets...We've all had a little issue here or there....this is how my body handles pain meds.

I can't wait to get my nectar Protein and try it.

Good morning and happy 1 week anniversary! Hehe..

What are your weights for week 1?

HW - 253.6

SW - 231.8

CW - 225.4

TWL - 28.2 LBS

Since surgery, I've only lost 6.4 pounds but, I gained 3.2 right after surgery and I lost that too. So I really lost 9.6 pounds. Maybe I should change my surgery weight to 235 since that is what I weighed right after surgery.

What do you guys think!?

I would keep your surgery weight as is. The reason you gained is because of the swelling and all of the fluids they pump into you.

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

Anyone having upper left abdominal pain?

I only have pain on my left side now. My surgeon said that when they stapled me on that side, they got some muscle. They said it's perfectly normal. I hope it goes away once my staples are removed. I'm so tired of these staples that I'm actually searching stores that sell surgical staple removers. My incisions are perfectly healed. But my clothes moves the staples and then it becomes irritated at the staple holes.

Sorry... short rant of frustration...

I don't have staples but from day one I always felt my left side was more bothersome than the right especially when I'm gassy

I don't have staples either. I'm still a little gassy also but no pain from it. I just wish my thoughts of food would go away. I can't wait till the soft food stage!!

Dang, that means it will still hurt after they are removed.

So lucky for me, I am not suffering from head cravings. Yey.. I am staying with my mom while I recover because I am single and live alone. She is just cooking up a storm. You know how it is when your mother cooks.. WOAH! I could eat her rice alone without anything. Fortunately for me, it's not bothering me in the least bit. I'm very lucky for that too.

I have to say that I have been very lucky during my recovery. Today is my first day without pain meds.

Keep your head up ladies, it will only get better now.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
