I just wanted to let everyone that I am up and kicking. I had my surgery last Thursday. I was just released from the hospital yesterday. They kept me longer then normal because I lived so far away, but I am finally home. I'm happy to say I have my Sleeve after working on it for almost a year. The first night in ICU, I thought I was going to die and was crying " what did I do, I really thought I made the wrong decision" , but then the next morning everything seem to get better except I had upset stomach, and when I had to drink that stuff for the leak test, well lets just say radiology did not like me when I left there. lol Now the only problem I'm having is coughing it hurts where the incisions are located. Oh and get this there was another lady who had the surgery right before me, she was the same age as me, and her initials were hm, mine are lm. They kept getting us confused the entire time she was there. That was scary. At one point they told me I had my gallbladder out, I was like "WHAT", no one told me that. Of course they had me confused with the other lady (Hope). Well I have rambled on enough. Have a nice day.

ALL RIGHT LISA!!! :D:thumbup1:I was wondering why you hadn't updated yet. How are you feeling now? Better I hope. It truly does get better each day. My incisions are looking so good now, I can barely see any scars in two areas.

Well God bless Lisa and I will talk to you soon. Get some rest.

Deb, I'm feeling much better now. I was up and walking around the day after my surgery. Today I'm making a trip to Walmart, yipee. My incisions are gross. I have a weak stomach, good thing my mom does not and has experience with these things. How are you doing? What a stage are you on now? Clear liquids is killing me. lol How are you doing on your weight loss? I have missed all of you guys so much.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
