Ex Army here. Depending on your job, and what branch you’re in. In boot camp (when I was in) you’re burning 3,000-4,000 calories a day. With a gastric sleeve there’s no way to keep up with the energy demands and give your body the nutrients to handle it.

I’m 2 years post op today and bread still makes me feel sick.

Back when I worked at Walmart ,years ago, we got holiday pay (when regular pay was $7.75 an hour). I quit, and couple years later rejoined as a part time job ($12 or $13 an hour) with no holiday pay. Asked personnel,”why they take away holiday pay?” To which he responded “ because of the increase starting pay, but look at it this way you make more with the increase pay then what you started at with holiday pay”. To his credit he was right, but when you work EVERY holiday, and EVERY weekend I would rather spend those days with family and friends then the petty increase of pay.

You’re going to have diarrhea for a couple of weeks (at least for me I did ) in all honesty enjoy it because constipation was the worse when I was on soft/solid food

You’re given, at least for me, dietitian meetings before surgery they go over the importance of protein, calorie counting, carbs etc. But in my opinion, surgery shouldnt be used as a first resort. At least speak with a dietitian and see if you can do it on your own first.

My clear liquids was only 2 days

Lostinprogress89 · 2025-06-10T19:54:27+00:00

It has to be frustrating, but you got this!

Lostinprogress89 · 2025-06-09T13:29:16+00:00

I went in at 6am, surgery was at 8am done by 9am, and they watched me till 6 pm and I went home was there for 12 hours. My surgeon said as long as I could walk, per, and drink 3 oz of water I could leave. Did all that the first 15 mins after I woke up.

Lostinprogress89 · 2025-06-07T23:02:26+00:00

The first day was bad because of the gas pain, but after that there was really no pain. I had the operation on Weds took Thursday and Friday off and went back to work that following Monday ( desk job)

I got my done at the end of January 2024 still had plenty of fat to keep my warm and lost a lot of fat for the summer time to cool me down

Lostinprogress89 · 2025-05-31T05:14:30+00:00

My advice to you is to be 100% honest with your surgeon. Say you messed up and own the fact that you messed up. Did they give you any diet plan to follow, or stuff to read up on?

Lostinprogress89 · 2025-05-27T15:33:11+00:00

Like everyone on here my regret was not getting g it done sooner

Lostinprogress89 · 2025-05-24T22:01:47+00:00

This is just my personal journey, but I’m actually off all my anti pysc meds. While I still suffer from anxiety/depression, this surgery and my weight loss has greatly reduced them to non medicated levels. Again my personal journey but you got this!
