Finally on the post op side



Recommended Posts

Haven't really been posting much, but just wanted everyone to know I'm finally on the other side. Banded 4/26, so 9 days post op. I feel fantastic! One day of pain Meds, and no gas pains! I feel lucky lol

I'm currently on soft foods and everything is going amazingly. The first day I scolded myself for doing this to myself lol but as I got better I knew this was the right choice! Can't wait till I'm able to get some jogging in and lift things, post op appt is on the 17 of May..

sure that would be cool. whats ur email? I could have went back to work but my surgeon doesnt recommend anything less then the 2 weeks but I have been fine only the first few days but after no problems. Weight not moving though and I am walking, but losing inches I guess since I can fit stuff. I am going to the dollar store buy a measurement tape since the scale has stopped moving. Keep me posted on how you are doing

      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? 🤷‍♀️
