An early welcome to the losers bench. Remember to sip often, walk often and rest in between.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Tuesday, April 17. I got out of the hospital today with a new sleeve. Less pain than I thought I would have, though my big incision hurts like a B...... No nausea so far, but not able to drink much at all without feeling like I overdid it, even small sips. The leak test was an adventure...YUK! All is well there and I told the tech next time I drink at his bar he'd better have some better whiskey on hand. I'm taking it easy today and glad to be home. They make it all but impossible to sleep in the hospital. If it's not somebody waking you up to check vitals and meds, it's some machine going beep alarm. I had enough energy to go 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 laps on successive walks and they still wanted to discharge me in a wheelchair. Go figure....more later.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
