Yayyyyyy!!!! SLEEEEEEEVED



Recommended Posts

Hello to Everyone

My surgery was Feb. 18th and discharged the 21st. Home at 1230pm.

Today I am truly happy with the decision I've made to be a more healthier woman. I have taken control of my life.

The surgery was a success. I hardly had any pain; a lil discomfort, yes, but no pain.

I begin a new journey for the rest of my life and give thanks to God and to Dr. Taller at Pacific Bariatric, San Diego and the pre-op team, pre-surgical & surgical team and nurses on the 7th floor at Scripps Mercy Hospital. You all ROCK.

Congrats to you. I had the surgery on the same day as you and feel the same way. I'm still getting the hang of using the tool, but it seems to be going in the right direction.

Thank you. I just can't believe how good I actually feel. With the fluids I'm intaking are pretty good. Getting use to that is a real challenge. My Mom made a huge, I mean huge glass bowl of jell-o (sugar free). I have chicken broth given to me from the hospital to take home. I have plenty of ice and today I am beginning Protein.

The days to come is where I find my inner self.

Good luck to you.

Hello, we are Sleeve buddies. I also had my op on Feb 18th and came home on the 21st. The only difference is 5,000 miles, I was in England and you in America! How have you been feeling? HelenJD

      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? 🤷‍♀️
