My Sleeve Is Saving Me



Recommended Posts

So I'm almost three weeks post-op. I'm in my hometown to visit my dad for the week. He has stage 4 cancer. We had to get him an ambulance to come to the house last night to get him to the ER. He is now in icu. Pre-sleeve me would be stuffing my face with all the food available at all of these restaurants in a 1 mile radius. I'm enjoying some KFC mashed potatoes instead. No more emotional eating for me thanks to my new sleeve.

hi sexyslim

its great when you can bypass a fast food restaurant, or just some junk food in a mall, and candy, pretzals, doughnuts (msp).... oh no, starting to drool :o we have to pass these things, sometimes daily, it is still difficult for me at times, but i don't give into my head hunger, nor do you as i can see.

good for you about KFC and mashed potatoes!

keep up the great work - we should all root for each other :)

Woo Hoo

best

kathy

That is amazing that you have gotten past the emotional side of food. That is such a hurdle to get past. That is something for you to be so proud of. A definite NSV!! My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.

:( that Dad has stage 4 cancer. This is going to be am emotional roller coaster for you and your family and will pull at you in all different directions. Take 1 day at a time and pre pack your meals if you can. Glad to hear your not tempted by the junk food places. I'm lucky I worked through that a couple years back. ;)

Prayers to you and your family, I lost my father 9 mths ago. He was one of my reasons for this life changing surgery.

I have found that kfc has really good grilled chicken too. Keep up the positive ways.

My father passed yesterday evening. We all knew it was time and he was tired of fighting. He suffered a great deal. It's funny I used to be a stress eater. Now no appetite at all. I will try to get as much Protein as I can. And Water.

My dad was so happy to hear I decides to get surgery. He knew that I have struggled with this battle all of my life. I just wish he was around to see when I get to goal. I know he would be so happy for me.

Slim, Your dad will still see you get to goal. He'll just be on the other side of the veil from you. :) I'm sorry to hear that he passed, but I'm happy that he is no longer in pain. You now have a guardian angel in heaven looking over you. (((Hugs)))

      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? 🤷‍♀️
