You're not going to fail. Don't let the specter of self-doubt creep in. Flash forward 6 months and you will be so much happier and healthier!

it can be very hard to believe that this time will be different but it will be different. The sleeve is an amazing tool to reset your life and reclaim your health and mobility. You have so many small and large victories ahead of you.

i encourage you to look for the NSV -non scale victories - topic located here and read thru it and see all the great things you can look forward to

post op is very much a mental game so keep the reasons you did this in mind and look forward to the good things ahead.

good luck

I am feeling the exact same way. I'm depressed because I am having issues drinking any fluids. Did well with popsicles but the doctor told me it's false telling on how full I am. I even made Protein filled and she said I need to go back to drinking it through a medicine cup. I can only get 1 ounce down every 30 minutes. This is my frustrating part. I hope it gets better and I hope the same for you as well.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
