Same. I am staying far away from the scale for at least a week/ week and a half. I know if I get on it will be with expectations. And I am certain my body is still retaining a ton of Water. My only priority is making sure I don't have to go to the hospital again and healing at this point. Once we get this out of the way then we can focus on the losing aspect.

I am glad you feeling better I actually measured myself before surgery and I was so curious so I measured myself right now and it looks like I went down one inch so I guess is working... my other question is are you having difficulties drinking your liquids cause I am not wondering if my sleeve is a thin as other people...I mean I take my time drinking but so far it's been good I get full but I can continue minutes later...is because is only liquids? ??

Oh my goodness....same here. I am 9 days out of surgery and I still feel bloated. Everyday I ask someone "why did I do this". The recovery is more difficult than I imagined. I know I'm supposed to drink fluids but I feel full all of the time. My dr said it's all normal, though. The adjustment to your new life after surgery seems more challenging than the procedure itself. But there is not one person I know who has had this or any weight loss surgery who says it was anything but the best decision the could have made for themselves!

I had my surgery two weeks ago today. And the first week was HARD. My emotions were all over the place. I was so bloated and kept thinking I have made a mistake. Protein shakes weren't going down and any liquid was a struggle. So I took a few days and just focused on getting liquids in and recovery. Taking the pressure off of having to get so much Protein in helped mentally for me.

Now at week two. And it's still hard. But I feel better. Have been back to work for a week and am moving to soft foods.

Honestly I don't think anyone can prepare you for this process but being kind to your body and focus on one thing at a time seems to be the path for me..... so far.

I can keep liquids down but the Protein shakes.... Man are they hard to take in. I take so long drinking them. Yay an inch is great!!

I had the same moment @@chiquiroxy did when I realized how much liquid I was actually able to consume.. honestly I didn't even give the Protein an honest try until day 3. I have to drink it in intervals. Since then I've been getting better everyday today I met my 70 protein goal about to hit 64 ounces of fluids as well as an hour and a half of physical activity. I feel exhausted and all I did was consume varying liquids all day lol. Good lord.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
