First night out since surgery!!



Recommended Posts

Well tonight will be my first night going out to dinner since my surgery 1 month ago.. I am excited/nervous at the same time. It's a dinner with my hubbys co-workers and boss, and I don't want to look like an idiot eating in front of them. I have been cleared for chopped meats since 2 weeks post op, and as of yesterday been cleared for salads again. I went and bought a new shirt for the occasion, and to my surprise it was a 1X OMG really a 1X!! 1 month ago I was barely fitting into a 3X.. I probably spent more then I should have $20 for a shirt that was on sale and a shirt I am probably going to be able to wear for a short while, but who cares right?? A little treat now and then is alright. I don't plan on buying anything else other then goodwill/yard sale clothes for the next 6-9 months. LoL Going off subject back to what I was orginally talking about. I plan on ordering the tilapia so I figure that will keep some eyes off of me. I am just dreading to hear the remarks some may say.. Hopefully night but they may you never know.. Any way wish me luck on my first night out!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
