Walking, shopping, working

Why aren't we BFFs?! The surgery, has inspired me to change my life. I am about to go move into an RV and travel the country, and Mexico! I have this idea in my heart, that while I'm out there I will find a beautiful piece of land, to make a home on, maybe even a small farm! And you should definitely open up an Etsy store!

I also have a follow up CT Scan on Monday to check on the hole in my ureter. While I'm there I'll give them this stone to run tests on.

Thank you so much. You have been so kind and helpful. [emoji4]

For me often getting moving helps me move the sludgy feeling. However, I don't have a hole in my ureter. I don't push it. It's a balance between waking my body up and resting. You'll find your way!

Hi everyone. Most of the Water has come off, but I still feel like crud. I thought I would feel better after the water came off and the stent came out.
Still have no energy to walk or do much.
How does a guy go from walking up to 15 miles a day just 2 short weeks ago to feeling like he can't walk 15 yards? Uggghhh.

Here is my 4 Month Post-Op Progress Report. Things have really changed over the last 4 months (since I had surgery on November 20th) and wanted to share my continued progress with those that might be interested. I know that I still have work to do, but seeing the weekly progress really helps keep me motivated.



Also, a BIG THANK YOU to all of you that have offered caring support and advice along the way as well as the BariatricPal weight loss and exercise challenges. I can't do it alone...so THANK YOU!!! And a special THANKS to my wife (as we are taking this journey together each step of the way).

I think too that your body has been through so much that it is just exhausted. I would just try to start over with the exercising increasing just a little bit each day. Once your body has recovered fully then I'm sure you will walking back to 15 miles again in no time.

Thank you so much. You have been so kind and helpful. [emoji4]

I'm now up to 20 pounds of Water weight lost in 24 hours. Yay!!!
This diuretic has been a miracle!!!
Now just 10 more to go.

all that Water could have messed with electrolytes or something. :-) I like the Vitamin water zero, maybe give that a try. It was hard on your body to go through all that. If you're still draggin in a couple of weeks then that will be something to check on.

And the stent is OUT!!! Yay!!!

Went for a short hike today. First time I've exercised in 2 weeks.
I get my stent out tomorrow. Not looking forward to the retrieval seek and find process... LOL... but looking forward to having it out of me.

I've lost 2 more pounds of Water weight. It's definitely slowed down, but happy to see it still coming off.
Unfortunately, I feel like death today. Everything hurts (i.e. Head, legs, stomach, kidney, ankles, etc). I'm also really nauseous and lightheaded. I'm guessing my body is just tired from all it's been through over the last week.
Think I'm just going to rest today and catch up on sleep.
Thanks as always to all of you for looking after me.

I'm now up to 20 pounds of Water weight lost in 24 hours. Yay!!!
This diuretic has been a miracle!!!
Now just 10 more to go.

I urinated 7 times overnight and when I weighed this morning I had already lost 10 pounds of Water weight.
I have since urinated about 5 more times today and have lost another 5 pounds of Water weight.
So, thankfully, the diuretic is working as I have lost 15 pounds of water weight in only 18 hours. Yay!!!!

whatever you do - do NOT google it! I always google that stuff and it is surprising I'm not dead yet.

And the stent is OUT!!! Yay!!!

I sure hope this is the turning point in your ordeal. I pray that you start feeling better every day!
I love you and am here for you during all your ups and downs!!
