I'm In "the Club"!



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery on the 24th and was released today. I had a pretty rough go of it with nausea and dry heaving, but it seems to have subsided. My insides feel like the creature from the Alien is roaming around, though. Constant gurgling. I can already tell that getting in the fluids is going to be a challenge. Anyway, just wanted to check in with you.

Glad to hear your home. You are very gassy and may need a PPI to help decrease the acid. It would be good to talk to your surgeon's office and ask what they recommend if your not already taking one. Welcome to the BIG LOSER'S CLUB! LOL Start ROCKIN that SLEEVE! :Banane57: :angel:

Congrats and welcome!! Do what the Dr's tell you and you will do just fine. Doesn't it feel good to get that part over with and begin a new part of your life? It did for me. :)

Congrats on your new sleeve! You'll heal up and feel better every day from here out.

I still remember being completely grossed out by my noisy stomach post op. And to be honest, it's not as bad now that the acid isn't an issue anymore, but I still have a lot of gurgling and rumbling!

You'll get used to it, I promise. I'd take a sometimes embarrassing stomach over plus sizes any day. :)

Thank you so much! All your cheerful replies really lifted my spirits. I'm feeling pretty crabby today, so I must be on the mend!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
