6 week post op pic...LOVING my SLEEVE!

[NewSetOfCurves 1,553]

Glad to hear it Curvy:). We have very similar numbers across the board.

I am just beginning to feel human this week. I go in for the dr. Visit tomorrow and can't wait to be released to more foods. Totally over the cat food diet!!!

I've had a lot of trouble with shakes and lactose intolerance. Diarrhea all the time, ugh. This week my energy seems to finally be reappearing and I don't feel like #%£¥

anymore, so hoping I've turned the corner. It's been pretty rough.

The first 2/3 weeks were tough, week 1 being the toughest. By the end of week 3 I felt like myself again, but I had to really work it to get those calories in. Gatorade helped a lot. I've already weaned myself off, but when calories were hard to get in, it really helped with dizziness and the world going a little black at times. I've been eating every 2-3 hours. I have the same problem with the shakes (but hey, all I can say is that at least I am regular now--LOL!), I just make sure to drink them when I am at home. However, I find myself napping and extremely tired by the end of the day, especially on my early A.M. workout days (I'm up to 4 miles--yay me!). On my non workout days I get in about 700 calories, and workout days I get in about 900 calories. My doctor released me this week to full diet, but so many things are hard to get in. I have found some sliders though, like cantaloupe and (believe it or not) beef Jerky. I know its high in sodium, but they kept me awake on my 11 hour drive to LA. I wish you continued success and I hope you get your energy back sooner than later! Good luck to you!
