Thank you the well wishes everyone.
I am feeling great. No pain felt at the surgical site but I suffered from nausea immediately after surgery and gas back pain all day yesterday. This morning it literally vanished. So I've been walking every hour on hour and feeling great today.

My doc only allowed me to stay overnight. I was doing extremely well after the first 24 hours. My surgery was scheduled for 7:30am - went to recovery by 10:30am and started walking by 2pm. The biggest concern was the nausea I suffered immediately after surgery but by 11pm it settled nicely. They gave me aromatherapy Patches for my gown and nausea sticker to place on my skin. Which helped tremendously. Currently home now and sipping every 10-15 minutes on Protein Shake @ Gatorade.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
