It probably took about a week to feel like me again. As soon as I woke up from surgery I asked the nurse to take me for a walk and then I was walking around the ward every hour for about 5 minutes. The first time I went I could not go far and I felt like I had been run over by a bus, but I'm glad I did it. I drove about 3 weeks after surgery, I only took that long to drive because it had snowed and I was scared I would fall over. Just take your time, your body will let you know if your doing something it doesn't like. I went to a friends house for Thanksgiving 5 days after surgery and I thought I was going to die, do things at your own pace. Don't try to eat and drink at the same time, it hurts like crazy. Make sure you take your Vitamins and drink plenty of Water. This is your journey, some days you will feel great and other days you will ask yourself "what have I done". I'm so happy I had my surgery, I love the changes in my weight and in my life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
