4 Week Post Operative Bliss. Learning To Love My Sleeve:)



Recommended Posts

Thanks for that. I'm at week 3 1/2 and frustrated, getting sick more often, etc. I'm really glad to hear I should see the light soon. Thanks Kinnymom!

I totally agree! I'll be four weeks out this coming tuesday (sugery 8/21) and today I finally feel like its all coming together. I feel good and am able to eat a variety of foods. puddings are hopefully just a blissful memory!

For all the new sleevers hang on and have hope. The first three weeks for me were the worst . It hurt to drink and to eat . I was depressed hit a stall last week that I still haven't came off of but it's ok. This weekend has been the best I've felt since surgery . I was able to have a selection of foods although in small amounts I had watermelon and seafood salad with crackers' date=' I even ate a salad :) On a down note I am completly lactose intolerant but it's ok. O yeah I had one egg with provolone cheese and salsa and it was yummy . I hope this encourages someone who having a difficult time transitioning ;) By the way I've lost 39 pounds in a month down 3 dress sizes ;)))[/quote']

Wow!!! Way to go! You are rocking that sleeve. Congrats on your weightless so far.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
