I had an earlier post saying how I did not feel well. It turned out I had a narrowing in my pouch that was causing my nausea. I had an endoscopy this morning and they were able to open the narrowing in my stomach. The doctors just came by. They are going to put me back on puréed diet. They are going to try and take me off all IV meds so changing it all to by mouth. They said it might take some time for me to feel better. They are also ordering ensure for me so maybe I can get some Protein in. I asked how much longer I might need to stay here and they said there are a few different ways it can go. 1. If I can eat my dinner and Breakfast without a problem and I feel better I can leave tomorrow. 2. If I eat all my meals tomorrow I can go home tomorrow. 3. If I can't eat anything still they will need to put a pic line in and feed me nutrients through my veins???? I would definitely appreciate some good thoughts sent my way! I've been in the hospital since Sunday and I'd love to go home and stop feeling so sick! Thanks you guys!

Ugh, that sounds like absolutely no fun at all (understatement, I know!). I am really glad that your medical team seems to be taking such excellent care of you. Fingers crossed for happy eating and no pic line!

Thanks! And I meant for number 2 that if I can eat tomorrow I go home Friday.

      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.
