Are There Any Single Sleevers Out There..



Recommended Posts

I'm a Paramedic. I was originally going to take 2 weeks off, but I know that my first call would require some weird twisting/lifting/positioning and I didn't want to risk it. Plus I do a lot of lifting and I don't want to go back feeling too weak. 12 hour shifts can be rough!

A paramedic....wow that sounds fun, thrilling and exciting! Bet you have some awesome stories.

Don't worry about what not to eat too much. It's good to be aware of them things, but realistically I couldn't get them in anyway. 3 bites of cottage cheese and I'm full. lol. My thing has been I forget to eat/drink. That blows me away! food is no longer a priority for me...it's become very secondary.

My diet consists of.... cottage cheese, mozzerella cheese, Protein shakes, sugar free pudding/jello, soaked peaches/pears/apples (no skin), tuna and salmon in Water only, and sugar free Water enhancers (several flavors). Oh and beef / chicken broths warmed. Broths were great first week.

Okay my fellow singletons, not sure if it has been mentioned here before but there are a couple of groups on Facebook that might be of interest. The first link requires approval for access but I think the second does not. The groups do not appear to be sleeve specific, just WLS.

If for some reason posting this is not allowed here and the links are removed, just message me and I will pass them on again.

Oh and I am beyond single, 45, childless and in Texas. :)

I am writing to report that I am no longer single. Not sure if its because of the weight loss or the Multiple changes that have happened over the last 2 years. The weight loss journey has taught me so much about myself that it makes me a better man and a better partner. I must say that i am truly happy with my girl, we have a deep understanding of each other and she had no problem with my surgery or me having multiple sclerosis . Its nice to find a person who respects and loves me entirely. To all the single sleevers i just want to say that there is hope and you all will find the right person. Somebody should make a group for people in new relationships for advice giving, just a thought.

Thanks for the tips! I have a bunch of broth packets. I have no problem with water. It's the unknown I think. Some people do fine, others have a lot of discomfort. I guess we will wait and see!!

And yes... I do have some REALLY good stories!!

I'd enjoy hearing some. Be careful with vegetable broth, It didn't work for me. Warm chicken n beef did. I made some ground turkey and chewed very well. It was great!!

Thanks for checking in Kimo. The procedure went well... No complications. Waking up from anesthesia was a rough experience for me this time around. My procedure was around 10 and I made it into my room at 1. I was really groggy for the first few hours.

The pressure and discomfort is the worse. It's not really a pain... Just uncomfortable.

I got up and walked around 2 and have been doing it every hour. I have dry mouth SUPER BAD!! Bad enough that it literally made me throw up when I walked. I've been trying to sip as much as possible. Luke warm Water goes down easiest.

I just won't up from an hour of dilaudid induced nap so I'm sipping and doing my spirometer.

Hopefully I can go home tomorrow. I honestly don't see why I wouldn't be able to!

How is everyone else??

      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? 🤷‍♀️
