Official July Sleevers Postop Thread.



Recommended Posts

Well, the time has finally come. It is July and tomorrow at least 18 of us (I think) will be getting sleeved! viva la July 2nd! lol.

I saw a similar thread for June and thought this would be a good idea for support while in the hospital recovering.

I will be going in, in 28 hours to be exact. Then my life changes forever....I wish everyone the best of luck especially my independence day siblings all 28 or so of us being sleeved the first 4 days of July.

Good luck safe journeys if going to Mexico and I will see you on the losers bench where we will all be winners!

12 hours to go. Just drank my magnesium citrate... So if anyone feels a disturbance in the force, please excuse me lol.

Kinda worried ti take it. Never had laxative before, and especially a whole bottle.

Getting down to the wire never wanted to eat something more in my life not because I'm hungry but because it feels like I will never eat again or something.

Guess just panicking and freaking out, who wouldn't want the emotional comfort food can bring.

You will be able to eat again, one day :)

Right now keep focused on getting thinner and getting healthy. We are all here when you feel like you need support or need a friend that understands where you are at in life.

I am praying for you. Do not be afraid :)

Post when you feel like checking in to let us know you are up and that all is well.

((((HUGS))))

This us ungodly. Yes I watch greys anatomy and know surgeons work ungodly hours, but that is emergent care surgery.

Why would anyone chose 6am surgeries for pre scheduled...

I'm so not a morning person!

T minus 1h:30m till I have to be at hospital.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
