I'm done. I'm sitting here watching television with my sis and daughter. Doc says I can get up at 5:00. Can't wait to get up and walk.I'm only in a little pain but I think it's from the gas.

Congrats natur! I hope surgery was good and you are feeling better. Walk as much as you can, it will help the gas and pain. Looking forward to hearing your progress!

I hope your surgery went well and you are your way to a better, healthier life.

The first month is the hardest but you will make it through. Keep telling yourself that there isn't any food that is worth dying for and leaving your daughter motherless. My ex-husband spent six months in agony and unable to communicate, after having a stroke related to Type 1 diabetes. He died at 50. Seeing how he was treated in hospitals and nursing homes resulted in me having my WLS. I never want to be in the same position.

My mind constantly says you will never have that again.

You are lucky you can have salad. I was stuck with just liquids, so be grateful you get to chew.

The amount of time your diet is limited is very short, about 6 months. Once you are healed you can eat just about anything. Hopefully at that point you won't want to.

I'm almost 2 years out, I can eat anything I want. I just choose not to.

      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.
