2 weeks.......



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Tomorrow I go for my nutrition and pshyc consult. I've been eating like crazy these past two weeks.

I'm ready for my new life to begin. Tonight I'm taking the dreaded pre surgery pic, this will keep me motivated for sure.

Feb 4th won't come soon enough. I found out 3 weeks after surgery, I have a business trip scheduled. I'm nervous about that, the food, the social nights with drinking (I love to drink).

Well, fellow Feb bandsters, our time is quickly approaching!

I see two choices, delay the surgery or cancel the trip. The drinking is empty calories and will not help. Three weeks is not enough time to allow the body to heal before you start partying. You should still be in the post-op phase. Sounds like an unworkable plan to me.

Unfortunately, this is my career so I will go and not drink, I'll be social and pay the "I'm not feeling well" card.

I still have 3 and a half weeks to go but I'm getting really nervous. I keep having dreams. I just cannot see me as a thinner person and I worry that I will be the one person to fail at this. I guess I just need some support.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
