Congratulations. How are you getting along with everything? You are still on that 1st week afterward, that is either a good or rough time. Either way we are here for you!😛

Today is the first day I feel functioning. I took our golf cart down to the lake and am enjoying some tea and the views. Cold Water isn’t killing me anymore and the pain in my stomach is only dull.

I have good days and bad days. I get nauseous easily. A little sore from the incisions. But better than the first few days.

Yes. Yesterday was a turning point I thought. Washed my hair, my daughter drove me to the grocery store and I scooter around on a power chair. 😂 was happy to be out of the house. When I got home I hit a wall and just had to take pain and nausea meds. Ugh!

Oh no! I haven’t hit a wall yet and I haven’t had to deal with nausea. I’m totally going to jinx myself but I’ve actually been on the up and up. Yesterday I walked half a mile and today I walked a mile. My tennis shoes finally fit comfortable and my sports bra doesn’t feel like it’s about to impale me.

That was me today. We went to get a few groceries and had tea at our favourite cafe. Once we got home though I was exhausted and nauseous. But I'll tell you, a shower and hair washing does wonders to make you feel better, doesn't it?

I was feeling pretty good too. Yesterday went to church and then decided to go to Walmart and get a few items. Came home after and Now I feel yucky. No nausea just tired and my abdomen is itching something awful. Been scratching around my 5 incisions. But I keep getting like a stomach spasm or something. Not sure if it is a hunger pain that turns into a spasm or just a spasm. But it hurts and kinda feels like it is trying to push stuff back up esophagus. Then it passes. Then minutes later it does it again. It does it for little bit then subsides. So not sure if gas hunger or just stomach itself. Has anyone else had this?

I haven’t had that but my doctor gave me a prescription in case of spasms so it must be fairly common.

My left lower side hurts terribly today. Everything else is good but man it feels like a knife stabbing me in that lower side.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
