Things are well. My blood sugars have been in the normal range for the past 3 days. That is super exciting for me.

I just started reducing my caffeine today. I bought some coffee that is supposed to have half the normal levels. I am trying to step down so I can avoid the bad headaches. I am going to switch to full Decaf in a couple days.

This isn't easy for me because I love bold full flavored coffee. I can do this though. I know as soon as I am allowed I will drink the good stuff again.

I was sleeved on Thursday, 5/4. I came home the next day. I was nervous going in, but it feels really good on the other side. I woke up from the surgery in some discomfort, but once that was managed, it has been pretty smooth sailing. No hunger, no cravings. I cannot even express how freeing that is.

Good luck May sleevers! Can't wait to read about your progress!

I was just telling my husband how amazing it was. I'm getting like 500-600 calories and I'm not hungry. Before surgery I was like "those people are f*cking crazy if they think I can survive 500 calories a day!" They really weren't kidding about hunger disappearing. I am hit now and then with head hunger though. Thought I'd start crying when I could smell my husband cooking chicken parm for the family. I just had to relax and let it sink in that even if I COULD eat it, I probably wouldn't be able to since my tummy doesn't like anything.

So true!!! I was in costco yesterday and they were baking brownies. They smelled delicious. I could have smelled them all day. But I feel so full all the time - if someone would have handed one to me, I would have dropped it and run! That is a huge change for sure.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
