Hi sleevers

Im 10 days out from surgery and have been losing weight. But im right now very depressed as i see others enjoying nice food. I am a real foodie and currently regret doing this. Still its done now. Painful drinking and very uncomfortable feeling. I would recommend having a good hard think if you can avoid this surgery. Im paying the price for lack of discipline in the past. I can already do things like put my shoes on which was hard to do. At the moment my life is dull and boring. Will post how i go .

DeeJay,

The remorse you are feeling is natural, and a lot of people have some regrets during the recovery period. I can't promise you that you wont have any regrets in the future, but I can tell you that it does get better once your stomach heals and you get into the solid foods stage.

This time is temporary. Life may suck right now, but you did something that your body will thank you for later. You are going good to be able to eat again...and who knows...maybe the food you are missing may not be the same for you when you can eat. From what I've read on here for many, the food they ate before no longer appealed to them. Keep fighting the good fight and best of luck!

I am 3 weeks out and the hardest part of the recovery is psychological! For 40 years, I have eaten what I want and how much I want and now I can't. BUT this is what I needed. I had to willpower to stop eating. I am only 3 weeks out and people tell me everyday.....I look amazing. Five weeks ago, I wore a 26W and today I wear a 18w. I have stopped loosing weight but the inches are dropping. Hang in there.....it is difficult but I needed it. No regrets for me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
