Greetings From Hurricane Sandy-Land



Recommended Posts

I'm 16 days post op and SO apply to be back in my home AND have heat! Our grocery store was barren. Shelves completely empty. They have produce and canned stuff but no meats, no frozen things, no dairy. This is all a bummer for a girl on mushies. Thank goodness for healthy babyfoods! the veggie options are great and the portions are perfect for bandsters but i can totally understand why my babies spit out any of the meat options! one day I was looking forward to yogurt, cottage cheese etc. so I made a trip uptown where life is normal in NYC and filled in on supplies. Mmmmnnn tuna, laughhingcow low fat cheese, yogurt smoothies, mashed potato mix with Unjury cheese powder Protein. Down 17 lbs from start of pre op diet. Haven't started exercising yet. In fact I still haven't had my post op visit because NYU apparently is in a bad way and not re opening for weeks!!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
