Ughh Sleeved 5.30 And Frustrated



Recommended Posts

So I've been hanging around the house since surgery. I've gone to Walmart, the pharmacy etc., but not anywhere else. Today my mom asked me to go to church with her. I thought, why not? I feel pretty good (had oatmeal for the first time today) and she's been helping me a lot. So I shower and try to get dressed and to my semi horror my clothes don't fit. Like my fav dress pants...NO. So I try my fav jeans and it looks like I could stuff a "package" in the front. Then I take them off without even unzipping them. My shirts are big as well, but with a belt or little cardigan I can make some of them work. Oh but wait! My "little" go to cardi's aren't little anymore. I don't wanna look frumpy by wearing too big clothes, but I didn't realize this would start happening so soon. (Which I should be thrilled about, but it's darn frustrating when you're trying to leave) arrrggghhh Whew....I needed to vent!

I can't wait to be venting about such things! Hope you found something and enjoyed church with your Mom.

Yup, it's so hard not to look frumpy when your clothes are to big. What bothers me the most is that I may look frumpy, but I feel great.

you know what? frumpy is only temporary until you can either go to a yard sale/second hand or just go shopping. i'd take frumpy over fat and unhealthy ANY day of the week!

I think the fact that it reminded me of "fat girl" days is what irritated me so much more. I'm used to having days where nothing fits because it's too SMALL. I just wasn't mentally ready for it to happen the other way around. Yep I've got to have some staples that fit.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
