3 Month Sleeve Anniversary Today!



Recommended Posts

I cannot believe 3 months ago this time I was in my hospital room in major pain, but it was all worth it. To date I have lost 62 pounds! It sounds like allot but I have 100 pounds left to go, so I still have a long journey ahead to reach my goal. I work out about 4-5 times a week. Did my first 2 mile marathon 2 weeks ago. I still have not had any bread or pizza since surgery; I did have cake on my Birthday. I think the hardest part, has been with me being opposed with the scale, I weight everyday some days twice just to see. I get mad at the scale when it doesn’t move because I’m thinking, I only had 700 calories today, and it should move everyday lol.

The sleeve has become a lifestyle for me now. My best friend just had to go to a buffet so I went with him (total waste of money for me) and to watch him eat, made me feel a little sick, because I used to eat just like that. I was sick at the fact that I used eat plate after plate and could not see that it was a serious problem. I was looking in the mirror at myself eat 3 months ago. Well, I’m moving right along and will never go back to what I was!

I find myself getting repulsed by the way my husband eats. He eats a lot of food and he's diabetic with his blood sugar way out of control. He is always hungry... So I really dislike eating with him now and that makes me really sad. He is a wonderful, supportive hubby who would do anything for me. He is even trying to eat less which is difficult for him. He has the belief that he has to eat everything on his plate and he eats what's left over on mine. So I am taking a lot less food now. :( Anyways, congrats on losing and thanks for sharing. ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
