Hello everyone, I am 10 days post-op and man am I bored. I want to clean. It’s something I do a lot and I can’t really bend without pain and I don’t think my surgeon would want me using the swifter and hand vacuum. So, I’m pretty bored. Hate watching tv because it makes me “head hungry”. So yea, I have two more weeks before anything major. I go back to week in three weeks. Also my progress has been SLOW. For my weight I should have lost 10-30 lbs in the first ten days. I lost like 5-7. I lost 15lbs in the pre-op diet so I wasn’t expecting a stall so soon. I was stalled for like four days. So yea, that’s where I’m at if anyone has any advice or words of encouragement.
I'm 13 days post OP and I'm down 21 pounds but I'll say what's helped me is I went back to work a week after surgery and I move and stand around all day and strictly just drink Protein Shakes and eat fish and eggs

Well it was next day delivery so that’s not an issue, £30 GBP I’m not sure yet? I kinda woke up really different this morning as I actually slept really well and on my side! So don’t know if I have turned a big corner. Will let you know later if I rate it

ok didn't like the band for my tummy, felt a bit tight on an already tight tummy! it was actually £18GBP. I have packed it back up to send back (only wore it for half and hour)

Also I think I had my first foamy (not sure if that is spelt right?) but I might have eaten my yogurt too quickly and I felt really faint and had foam coming up my throat. I just went upstairs and laid on my bed for a bit and was then fine. It was the same yogurt that I have eaten for the last week, so no suspect ingredients, I might have just eaten too quick. Good lesson to slow down next time!

Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I wish I could do that but everything to me is so sweet, sf popsicles, sf Jello or pudding even Protein Water that I even water down and let not discuss the Vitamins. My taste buds have changed. I am so happy the I can at least have choc. Premier shake since those have been my only source of protein. Can't wait for really food.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
