Here In San Diego...doesn't Feel Real Yet...



Recommended Posts

I am so glad that I am not the only one having these thoughts. I leave for Mexico a wee from Tuesday. I literally will only allow myself think in about 30 min increments or I start to panic. We all know that this is the right thing and we have to believe we will be totally fine.

You will do great! Thrilled for you.

I am scheduled for July 9 and fly into San Diego on July 8. It was the earliest date possible. Well, actually, late June was possible but it conflicted with a work commitent that I must keep.

I can hardly wait for your report!

WELL, LADIES. I WENT THROUGH WITH IT AND DIDN'T chicken OUT. MY SORENESS IS MINIMAL. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE NAUSEA AND DRY WRETCHING. DR.GARCIA AND HIS TEAM ARE SO COMFORTING. IT'S NICE AND CLEAN HERE. I'M COMFORTABLE. THEY LET YOU USE THE CORDLESS TO MAKE ALL YOUR CALLABLE SO I DON'T GO HOME TO A CRAZY PHONE BILL. I HAD THE FIRST LEAK TEST AND THREW SOME OF IT UP. IT WAS CLEAR BUT SO NASTY. NO LEAKS SO I WILL FINALLY GET SOMETHING TO SIP ON VERY SOON. WHILE I'M WAITING I SNUCK A PEPPERMINT candy AND THAT HELPED WITH THE NAUSEA. THAT'S ALL I CAN THINK OF NOW BIT IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO ASK ANYTHING PLEASE DO ASK. THANKS FOR ALL THE WELL WISHES AND COMMENTS. THEY ARE APPRECIATED!

Hey, I'm finally back in San Diego waiting on my plane home!! I had the jp drain in for 2 days. I don't have the nausea anymore but now I have heartburn. I forgot the gas x strips so these tums are gonna have to hold me over till I get home. also not to ne negative but the driver didn't call me the night before to coordinate what te to pick me up like he said he would so I didn't get good rest cuzz I was worried I would miss my plane. The front desk finally got ahold of him and he came quickly. he's a very nice guy, we had time to kill when I first arrived so he took me sight seeing. Just get it together when he will pick u up to take u home.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
