Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I am so excited. I was sleeved on October 29, 2010 and since then I have been stuck in the house. You know doing the liquid diet, now on puree. Our family has the horrible habit of eating out a lot. So when they eat out, I just dont go and stay home and eat my liquids or my school paste puree LOL. But today, the Harry Potter movie came out and my husband knows how excited I get about that movie. So he took a half of day at work and came home early and suprised me with dinner and a movie date. He said I will enjoy myself. I was a little hesitant about going to the movies, you know the concession stand and all, but when I got there I got a bottle Water, and a sugar free popsicle and watched the movie. I didnt even finish the water and I was ok. We went to a mongolian bbq buffett for dinner and of course I was terrified. But they had an all you can eat Soup and salad bar. I only ate the liquid from the soup and i became full off of the smell of the bbq cooking. I ordered ice water (which I didnt drink). but I actually ate out. I was soo afraid that I couldnt do it, but it felt soo good to do it. You think at the beginning of this life changing procedure that you will never be able to do the things that you use to. Mostly because our lives revolve around food soo much, but we can do it. I know that soup was full of calories and possible carbs and of course fat, but it is nice to have a little "splurge". Just a side note, when we got home i walked 3 extra blocks for my splurge LOL! But just a note for you fellow sleevers who think life as you know it is over, get out and enjoy yourselves. you will find it fun to "find" how to keep on your diet.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
