190 Degree turn around



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to give a quick update. The first of the month found me in the hospital for about 2 weeks with severe nausea and vomitting (dry heaves really). Well today - I FEEL GREAT! It is almost like that time never even happened. Of course as the hospital bills start rolling in I get a quick reminder. ugh. That's ok though. If that is what it took to start a healthy lifestyle then that is what it took and I'll just do what I have to do. I'm still trying to get use to finding the foods that work best for me but I'm learning.

It may have taken me a couple of weeks of being seriously ill and LOTS of money, but I know in my heart that if I had not had the surgery, my life would have continued to be less than what I deserved because of my weight issues. I am already off 2 blood pressure meds and my sugar levels are perfect! the hubby says the snoring is minimal now:blush:. I'm still at a stall as far as weight goes but I'm not stressing about that either.

Thanks for all of your support,

Thanks,

For some reason my ticker will not update correctly. It should show that since surgery on Dec 8th I have lost 43 pounds.

Good to hear that you are doing fine. It is such a great feeling when you are off the medications coz then you start feeling that you did the right thing for healthier life. Good to hear that your sugar level is also back to normal and yes, your hubby must be getting a goodnight sleep with less snoring of urs !!:001_tongue:

Lucygoose, did you ever find out what it was that was making you ill? You had mentioned earlier that it did not have anything to do with your actual sleeve- so what caused all your symptoms? Really curious.

I am glad you are feeling better - and yeay for no snoring :)

I am glad to hear you're doing better too! It always makes me so sad to read that people are having a rough recovery since I had it so easy.

I am so glad to read that today you're feeling GREAT!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
