Well, I Made It To The Losers Bench!



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved yesterday by Dr Coirin here in Modesto, ca. I'll be here in the hospital until tomorrow. For now, just sipping Water and walking every two hours. Dr. Coirin did an amazing job and the nurses are taking well care of me.

Worst thing was the xray they did to check for leaks, THE NASTIEST STUFF I HAVE EVER HAD TO DRINK. It had me gagging so hard that we had to stop. Dr. saw what he could and said there was no leak.

Anyway, I think is the best decision I have ever made and I'm exited to start my journey into the rest of my healthy life...

<3,

Veronica

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the amazing support. :')

You guys are the best.

I just got back from another walk and the nurse came to give me another heparin shot in my stomach. Pain is not bad; keeping up on my pain medication ;).

Talk to you all a little later....

<3,

Veronica

Congratulations!

Funny, I don't mind the stuff they make you drink. Not that I "LIKE" it but it doesn't make me gag. Hopefully I can still say that on Tuesday! LOL!!

My surgery is in Fresno. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
