I was worried about that too but at 4.5 months out I am able to eat everything I ever ate before surgery with the exception of only rice and pop corn and those I just haven’t tried yet because they say they are difficult foods. I have even had steak!!

very encouraging

My surgery is in 4 hours today too. Can’t sleep, so decided to get up and read and pray. Nervous, excited, anxious, sooooo many different emotions right now.

I can imagine! How are you feeling?

Wow! I've been on my journey since February 2021. I'm so glad I now I have a date. I was denied by my insurance after 5 months of pre-op appointments so I'll be going to Mexico.

May I ask, why were you denied? That’s my fear. I’ve gotten all my medical clearances done and have my surgery date, but waiting for the ok from the insurance. I would hate to be denied when I've come so far.

Had my surgery august 4, so far have lost 10 pounds but it’s hard to get the fluids in and Protein. I’m super constipated to not sure if that’s why I can’t drink more.

Hey we’re twinsies!! I had mine the 4th too and I’ve lost 10 lbs since the surgery and I lost 15 before it! So I’m at 25 now and starting to feel great. It is def had to get enough fluids in. I sip ALL day on Water and my clear Protein (except when I’m going to try to have a “meal”). I drink my Protein Shake in the am within the first hour of getting up but I usually can only get down half of it in an hour or longer. I always go back to it later. I make sure I drink atleast 1 clear protein and 1 1/2-2 shakes and WATER all day- that will help with the constipation! Message me if you need any other help! I can help wherever I can!

How is it going?

I had my two-week Post Op Appointment with my Surgeon today. I had a successful swallow test. My restrictions have been lifted. I'm feeling better each and every day. Thank You for asking,

      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? 🤷‍♀️
