An on the third and very nervous

Yes I started on shakes (awesome) 4 weeks ago and lost 16 lbs people now make me question my decision. But I know in my heart this is what I need to do. I'll say I am very scared!

Congrats Furby!

I am so jealous of all of you June sleevers! I don't go until July 9. In actuality, though, I know the time is going to fly by.

I woke up normal in room and had to get up and walk around the hospital, but who knows what I did or said in the recovery room. They knew I was concerned going in and said they have seen it all before, no worries. No one said anything to me and The last thing I remember is counting for the anesthesia.

Will they let you wear a small stud? If not put it back in as soon as you wake up. Doubt if it will close in just a few hours.

When i had my gallbladder out i had a ton of piercings..(tongue, navel, ears, nose) and for my nose i used a lil bit of fishing line and tied a knot and cut off the excess. I couldn't even tell i had something in my nose like i do my stud now. This is my second time having my nose pierced so i know for a fact they close fast (faster then most). They also make clear plastic studs that can be used for surgeries..i think the thing they do not want is the metal. I would confirm if you can just use a clear plastic stud or if not think about the fishing line or something similar and when you are in recovery you can probably put it back in. That is something ill have to ask my surgeon when i see him!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
