Starting To Become Discouraged...



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I started my Journey back in September. I went to all my seminars and my Doctor appointments and finally got a date of 11-14-2011. Which was later changed due to one other test my Doc wanted me to do. So I was rescheduled for Surgery which should of been 11-30-2011. Now just to be certain my Doc wants me to see one other Specialist so now I have to reschedule again. Has anyone else been through this. Everything is approved just waiting on my Doctors clearance. She has all the time in the world to schedule me for any type of Doctors she wants me to see. But she always waits to the last minute to do it and I am soooo Ready. Starting to think that it is not going to happen.

Yes I plan too. I am very frustrated, but now that the holiday is over I can actually get a hold of her and express my feelings tomorrow.

Took me 7 months to get through the wickets...didn't really "mind", felt I needed the time to get my head on straight before they started fixing my tummy...

Looking back on it, it felt like it happened very quickly, so don't get disappointed...I am sure anything your doc is asking for is only for your safety and protection!!

Don't know what happened to my last post. As I stated It's not that I am rushing, I just feel that she has enough time to get these test done besides waiting until a few days before. That is what annoys me. Especially because I have to keep doing this dam diet. I am hungry....

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
