I guess it was my turn



Recommended Posts

I would imagine that all of us that decided on surgery have a day that makes us doubt our choice. Today was mine. I am almost 3 weeks post op. For some reason today I hated everything. Hated Soup, Protein Shakes, feeling tired, gas pains, bathroom issues and not being able to have a beer. I thought is it really worth it?? My best friend had the sleeve 3 years ago and I know she is grateful for it. But as of this moment I am having a hard time thinking about the future. I just want to feel better. I want to chew something! For some reason my surgeon doesn't have Jello on his phase 2 approved list. I just had to vent. Thank you for listening. I need to lose 50 pounds and improve my health. I know that this was a good choice. I just don't feel it today.

Sounds about right. I certainly felt the same way about 3 weeks out. Just keep in mind it does get better.

Yup. I had a day like that around the three week mark too. It gets so much better when you move to soft foods.
You'll feel better. But I know NOW would be good. Some days just suck but the better days are definitely coming!

Thank you guys so much. I am glad it's not uncommon around the 3 week mark. I know better days are ahead they just seem a long way. Thanks!

I hope you feel better soon. It's no fun feeling that way.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
