I am 5 days post op and am feeling pretty good. I have a lot of abdominal gas, a stomach that gurgles like crazy 😂😂 my husband heard it this morning and said it sounds like a volcano erupting. The pain med is controlling the pain and overall I feel pretty darn good. Looking forward to eating solid food again...

I'm in the same boat lol. Today though I couldn't finish my third Protein Shake. I feel really full like if my stomach is about to explode lol. I'm so happy I haven't had any episodes yet. Hopefully I can handle our next phase "pureed". I haven't taken any pain meds since Thursday and I've been doing good. The only thing that kills me is that I have a boyfriend and son who are both clowns lol and have me laughing, but it hurts to laugh right now. I'm still swollen, I say I look pregnant now cause my belly looks so round lol. I wonder how long does it take for the swelling to go down. I'm glad you're doing great [emoji106] good luck on your journey.

My stomach is round too!! I was upset the other day because I got on the scale and I was up almost 10 pounds from the day of surgery. I haven't eaten a darn thing and haven't had enough calories to justify the weight gain. Others on here have said retaining Fluid is normal so I haven't freaked out too bad. It's scary going in for WLS and within a week weighing more... I'm looking forward to the puréed stage of food. Can't wait for applesauce!! and cream of chicken soup!!

The first one is today and the other one was me at about 125 pounds heavier. My surgery is Monday and I am officially 150 lighter than I was when I started my journey on Oct 10th. That's when I decided to do this and went on the low carb, low fat, high Protein diet.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
