Hi everyon, I just recently have my surgery. It been 6 day that I have it and my problem is that i feel good, I hasn't throw up and I been walking as much as I can so the gas go away but that seem to be a problem for everyone.. cuz It going to sound so weird and it hasn't a week of my sergury and I feel good.. my belly hurts but is not killing

My surgery was on Monday and by Thursday I can tell it was when I start feel the most normal but everybody is driving me crazy cuz they like I should be in bed. I should be outside.. yesterday I went to a birthday party and they were freak out cuz I went.. so do u think is okey feeling this good or should I be resting ? The other thing is the liquid I think I can drink about 7 to 8 onz of Protein in like 25 to 30 minutes and I don't know if is okey cuz that another thing in my house they think I drink to much of If i say i feel hungry is like .. why u hungry, u shouldn't feel hungry with the surgery.. now I feel bad because I feel good... this is so crazy and sorry but I need to some advice

Congrats on your surgery. Sounds like you're doing great.

Exercise-wise, you're just one of the lucky ones, enjoy! Don't go skydiving or anything, but so long as you're being reasonable, great!

Some people have no problem with liquids, others do. Same with hunger.

People often don't comment when things are going great, just when they have a problem!

That is because people are seldom interested when things go good, now if you turn sky blue, one leg falls off or the chair collapses and you break a hip falling down the hospital's front steps, that is newsworthy.

I had a relatively easy recovery, not quite as bouncy as yours, but other than a little dizzy when I didn't get enough Fluid - not bad....Just be careful not to ruah the food stages - there can always be a surprise or two along the way. You are still healing and have inflammation, just be cautious and have fun. No guilt allowed.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
