I was banded on Thursday, October 16th, and I really didn't feel close to normal until today. The gas pains are finally gone. The incision near the port is tender, but that is all.

Was banded on 10/21 - back in my hospital room by 10am. Nurses had me up walking by 11am. Everyone I had spoken to had told me to walk and walk and walk. I did, and knock on wood, I have not had gas pains that others have experienced. I am sore on my port side (left) but find getting up and down to be easier and easier........ I am going back to work on Monday and hoping that I will feel even better.

I didn't drink much liquids or Protein on 10/22 when I got home from the hospital. Was able to drink 32 oz of Water and most of my Protein shake during the day. Today 10/24 I have eaten broth (a little) at lunch, sipped on my 42 gram proteim EAS shake during the day and still working on 32 oz of water...........yes, i know it needs to be more Water but I just am still trying to get it down right now.

What has been your worst day since banding (healing process).

      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? 🤷‍♀️
