My surgery day experience ...so far.

Please keep us posted on your progress and how things go at home. I hope they will let you take some of the "mystery shots" home with you or at least in liquid form. Best wishes and a speedy, uneventful recovery.

My first day was really bad, this second one is better. I hope that you feel better soon. Yesterday I asked myself all day what I had done! I swear if anyone tells me I took the easy way I'll slug them!

I totally agree with you! It just keeps getting better and better. I haven't had any desire to eat food for the past 3 days! And if I field one comment about "the easy way" I'll get so cranky!! Best of luck in the rest of your recovery!

Glad you are feeling better!!! Don't slug anyone til your incision is TOTALLY healed! lol I'm officially 7 days out of surgery (about 2 hours ago) and my bruises have just started to show up! hahahaha Guess that has to do with the length of their commute to the surface!! Anyway, take it easy. focus on fluids and don't sweat the little stuff.

LOL Leslie, I agree with you. It's not an easy way out by any means.

Bitties, glad you are doing well. Before long all of us will be super big losers and looking HOTT!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
