Robin - sorry to hear about your snag. I was originally going to take 2 wks off, but I was and still am so easily fatigued and tire quickly, that I'm taking a full 4 wks off. I do know a lot of people went back to work very quickly, so it all depends on how you are feeling at the time.

nannie - I'm so new, I'll be interested in hearing what others have to say about that.

Joni you are lucky to be able to take the time. I am self employed and will be home on June 15th and have to and I mean have to be back to work on the following Monday. I am not too worried about that. I am worried about the 12 hours flying and stop overs at airports to get home ugg.

I'm right with you there, Nannie. It's so easy to snack and gain a few and almost impossible to take it back off. It's maddening.

Kat - Make sure you have Protein available for your flight and stops! I'll be thinking of you and rooting you on!!! You'll be fine, don't worry - I know there are plenty on this site that have done the same. Maybe you should post something for their feedback?

New topic for us over 50's.....or anyone!!!! I have heard that after the sleeve, people tend to be cold(er) all the time.......Question: how long after surgery does this happen? ....... i am always hot - hate to be in the sun - just adds that much more heat. When i sleep i have to have a fan blowing on me and only use a sheet (if even that)....i am 2 weeks post-op today and it still has not happened... Does it depend on the weight loss? just needing a little info.... Thanks

Yes you do get cold! It was a gradual thing with me ...the more I lost the colder I got. I sleep with shirt, sweatpants and socks...always cold.....sorry wifey :) No complaints here though...Nobody said it would be perfect surgery for us in every way!

Thanks Joni

I am nervous about going myself and scared too. My husband feels terrible that I have to do this alone but I am determined to do this. Must remember my Water and Protein Drinks for down and back.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
