I did great, surgery Monday home Tuesday afternoon. I'm having no pain just have some gas trapped from anesthesia so I'm walking all the time. It's a challenge getting the liquid in but it's getting better every day. I didn't think it would be so easy. Im swallowing pills and on Jello, Soup, and sf Popsicles. I haven't weighed yet I'm going to give it a week.

I had surgery on Monday 8/8 and I went home today. I've had some serious dry heaving, but thank the Lord everything has stayed down. No gas pain and just on lap site that hurts really bad. Apart from that I'm doing great! Glad I only spent one night hospital. I didn't get a lot of Proteins in today, but try and meet my goals tomorrow.

It's been a better day today! No dry heaving today, but everything that hits my stomach feels weird. I hope it goes away. I'm practically taking the pain meds every four hours because one lap site hurts very bad. And as soon as I take the pain meds, the pain goes away within ten minutes then I want to sleep! Lol!

I'm so sorry you've been so sick, I took my pain pills at home for a few days and went down to one every six hours instead of two until I felt ready. I've figured out I can't handle 30 grams of Protein at once with out it making my stomach feel uncomfortable so I cut it in half and have been fine, I also found these Atkins drinks called Lift - zero sugar/20 protein/2 carbs so I Water them down a little and put it in my large yeti and sip it all day till I need to refill. There are some days I don't get all my Protein in but I keep trying and I'm going to order the Protein powder to add to sugar free pudding.

How are all the 8/1 sleeves doing?

I'm doing great almost four weeks out and I feel like a new person. I'm down 18 lbs after going thru my first stall at almost two weeks but figured it was everything adjusting. I'm back on track and have had no problems, I still am keeping things pretty bland but so happy to be on soft food. I didn't tell many of my friends but the few I did tell have been great, a couple of friend that are a little envious and just won't talk about or be very supportive but I get it, I think fear holds a lot of people back from making this decision and it's a very personal one to make. I hope all you other 8/1 peeps are doing great and have had a good and uneventful recovery too, I'd love to hear from you guys.

Glad you're doing great! I was sleeved on 8/8 and currently going through a difficult stall! I hate it. I lost 13lbs the first 2 weeks and the scale haven't moved since. Do frustrating! I know it is to be expected but still. I'm walking on the treadmill one hour each day and following the diet and getting in my Protein and Vitamins. I really want to be out of this stall soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
