Dec 20th Sleever!



Recommended Posts

so i was sleeved on dec 20th. yay!

i am doing ok.. BUT....

one of my incisions are red and irritated. it was red & irritated in the hospital & i was put on antibiotics. the redness went away before being discharged but after getting out of bed on my own 2x, its redder than before! i will start on the antibiotics again tomorrow!

also, im coughing up phlegm. i do the respiratory breathing but i cough up phlegm without it. is that normal? it was only green one time. the other 4-5 were white.

and i noticed that when i take my pain meds, my knees get a numbing sensation. is it just me? lol

Glad to hear you were able to talk with him before being dc. My leg started cramping when I was driving about 5 weeks out and I started thinking I was getting a blood clot, so I went to the ER and no, I wasn't having a blood clot. 11 weeks out and I'm good to go, pasted the 8 week mark! You will do fine... Any questions and we can call the surgeon's office. That's what they're paid for. Have a Merry Christmas and I can't wait to hear about the lbs and inches just dropping off. ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
