This is great - how much have you lost in that month? I think I'll do the same for my hubby. Keep up the great work.

I actually lost 44lbs in the frist month:eek: but I had a very complicated surgery due to previous scar tissue issues, It was supposed to take 45 minutes and I was to go home the same day instead it took 5 hours and I had to stay in the hospital for 8 days:frown:, so dont get discouraged if you dont loose that much as I am a special case (Ive been told by my doctor) LoL that being said I have started adding regular foods now that I am 5 weeks post op and I have actually gained 2 lbs this week:scared2:, but the doctor said he wanted me to gain a few lbs back and loose about 8 to 10 lbs per month from here on out:thumbup:. I am scheduled for a fill possibly in 3 weeks, but to be honest I cant hardly eat anything without that stuck feeling starting:confused_smile:, kinda feels like you swallowed a big gulp of air and the pressure is pushing on your throat, doc says to get used to it because thats the way the band works, I have seen people on here that say they can eat a 12" sub from subway:ohmy: after there surgery and I cant imagine even eating a piece of bread much less a whole sandwich, I will post some pictures in 3 weeks then I will be 2 months out. Thanks for all the encouraging words from you guys! C U Later:tt2:

      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.
