Anyone Having Surgery On 9/21?



Recommended Posts

Am I the only one that is absolutely miserable on the clear liquid diet? I'm getting bad headaches, I'm exhausted and shaky. I know it's because I'm having no caffeine and no carbs......

I am doing Clear Liquids today, I suggest everyone keep their distance. For the Protein Shakes up til now I have been okay. I only had one day where I was cranky and blubbering. Yesterday even forgot to drink one. Today is my only clear fluids day, thankfully. I was intending to stay home but have some last minute tasks at work. I pity the person who gets in my way ... Raaaaaar How many days clear Fluid do you have to do?

Today is the day! I check in at 12:30 and surgery is at 2:30. I was a wreck yesterday but after meeting with the surgeon I'm feeling calm and ready to get it done. Sure did want a cup of coffee but that will come later. Special prayers to all my sister sleeves!! And brother sleevers too.

Hi all. Since the surgery I've lost 17lbs. Getting all the protein/water is a day by day thing for me...some r better than others. I have been cleared for solids and am slowly getting over this mind thing holding me back.

      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.
