Has anyone tried Orangetheory fitness? If so, what are your thoughts about it? Thanks in advance!

I've pretty much told anyone I talk to on a regular basis - family, friends, my boss and some co-workers. I'm pretty open about it if people ask. It's easier for me to just be upfront. Everyone I've told has been incredibly supportive. I know not everyone has the same support so I understand not telling people.

I've had the nuclear stress test. You'll be fine!

It's completely normal. You were probably pumped up with IV fluids while in the hospital, plus you're body is working on healing itself right now.

The hunger pains are likely from acid. Can you ask your doctor for a prescription strength antacid? I was given protonix and it seems to be working well.

Have you started your pre-op diet yet? I imagine doing that for a couple of weeks would help your blood sugar be below 200 when it's time for surgery. Also remember that at least one day prior to surgery you will only be on Clear Liquids, which should help with the number.

I love reading about all of these positive changes in such a short amount of time. All of you are truly inspiring! As I was reading through this thread, I forgot to mention that I no longer have to take metformin for diabetes. I was sent home from the hospital not needing it. Such a great feeling to not need diabetes meds so soon!

I can relate to other's post about thinking about food more. It's kind of crazy how I'm so into watching the Food Network. I wonder if it's because I can't have the food. I, too, feel like a slow loser post-surgery. I've heard others say the first month can be a little slow since our bodies are still healing.

I have an office job and took 2.5 weeks off. The first few days back were a little rough due to fatigue.

I'm curious to know what positive changes April sleevers have already started noticing. Share your changes here!
I was sleeved on April 11th. With the pre-op diet and sleeve, I am down nearly 36 pounds from my highest weight. So far I've noticed that my back no longer hurts when I walk. I also noticed that I'm able to talk while walking to meetings with my co-workers. It's amazing how much of a difference 36 pounds makes!

Today is my first scrambled egg too! It tastes amazing! I could easily scarf down a 4-egg omelet as well. Can't believe how long it takes to eat one egg!

I stayed two nights due to the nausea and vomiting.

I, too, was throwing up blood immediately after surgery when I started waking up from the anesthesia. It was terrible!

Weight loss surgery and depression
in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Posted
During the first month out I felt more depressed even though I was continuing to take my Lexapro. I chalked it up to the hormones. Otherwise, I feel better than ever mentally than I have since before my surgery. I describe it to people as "starting to feel like myself again."
