I'm also feeling extreme down ATM I don't miss food one bit, but I miss that weekend catch up and drinks, I am about to hit my month since surgery on Tuesday and I have not lost one single kilo in 3 weeks I feel as though I've made the wrong decision at this point, something is wrong

I'm sorry. Are you tracking your food? Take it to your doc and/or your nutritionist and see what they have to say. Big hugs!

I understand why you didn't tell, people start making judges, they think this is the easy way and you are doing this because you want to be pretty, skinny to buy nice cloth, they don't understand we do this for our health, the other things are nice side effects, but this is not the easy way I am 12 days post op today I still have tachycardia that is preventing me from start working out, I am eating puree ...yeahhh and life is going back to normal in some ways, ah I drove my daughter to the bus stop today also. As the days pass you will fell better, wipe your tears and think happy thought, see videos of puppies that definitely will make you happy. Enjoy the New life.

Kathy what did your surgeon say about tachycardia?

That it will go away, and sure did. I am better now 17 days post op, my heart beat average is 85 still high but coming down slowly. The highest I got was 151 bpm I was do scare. So on Wednesday next week I will start working out at 3 weeks post op.

OmG ! Same here I went to the E.R 2 weeks post op but now I'm 3 weeks out feeling better they did some E.K.G and that's all I'm waiting for my month out to be clear to work out 🏃🏼‍♀️

My sister had the surgery and warned me that depression was a side effect. THANK GOD SHE TOLD ME! , If I had that terrible bleakness hit me about a week after surgery without knowing it was normal I would have thought I was going crazy!

Keep your chin up though- I am at 2 months and the depression has long since lifted and I am figuring out how to live and work with my tiny tummy.

Hugs

My mom was not supportive at all but post op she has been essential. She helps me prepare meals and the first few days post op I was so uncomfortable I slept for an hour at a time sitting up on my couch. She helped me with my dog.

I’ve mostly kept it private except my family and a couple friends. It’s no ones business. Plus, it’s just a tool. We still need the strength to follow meal plans and eat right.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
