Happy. So Very, Very Happy.



Recommended Posts

I am just so glad that I had this operation. I have not felt this happy for years. I find myself just sitting here smiling. I wake up smiling. I get dressed smiling. I drive to work singing my heart out, happy as a pig in muck. I am usually a happy person, but this happiness, this absolute joy? This is new. I am just so, so grateful that I had this opportunity to transform my life and improve my health.

Despite the heartburn, the Constipation, the pain of a pulled stitch and the full time job that is keeping hydrated.

I am just so damn happy!

Had to share with all of you as I am driving my family crazy :-)

I'm 15 days postop and had some "what in the heck did I get myself into" moments early on. I quickly figured out they were only when I didn't have adequate pain control. That being said, I find my whole attitude about life is much improved. I find myself thinking how happy I am and how excited I am for this journey and for what lies ahead in the future. I am so very happy and excited I had this surgery!

I totally agree with you, LouiseC - the positives SO outweigh the negatives... it's a no-brainer! :D

I am only four weeks out but can't believe this addiction to the mirror that I developed post-surgery while before I could barely stand by the mirror.

I love every bit of this thus far.

      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.
