November 3rd Dr. Kelly



Recommended Posts

Got the "official" date! Plane tickets booked, and hotel for the first night down there. I don't think I want to spend 3 nights in the hospital....even though it's free.

Excited, nervous, and a little bit scared.....but I've been waiting for what feels like forever to get up the nerve to book the surgery. CAN'T WAIT!!!

Just a quick update... had my surgery in the evening of Nov. 3rd. I don't really remember a whole lot, other than switching beds a few times before getting into the operating room. I woke up in my room, and fell back asleep for a few more hours...i think...then woke up to painful gas and naseous. They gave me some meds for pain and naseous and I slept again for the rest of the night. I've been very tired since the surgery and still have bouts of naseous. I have gotten sick a few times, and that was kind of scary.....but I'm ready to go home. The after care has been good, and I've met with Dr Kelly a few times since the surgery. I'm pretty tired right now but I'll post more later. Heading home tommorrow :)

Back home and so happy to be here! Doing much better today. I've been finding that warm tea feels really good and doesn't make me bloated or give me heart burn. All i can say is that i'm so happy to be home, even though there's snow on the ground.....can't wait to crack open a can of chicken broth tomorrow and stay in my pjs and sip away!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
