Before

Thought a beer sounded good! Lol

I wasnt all morning because I was super busy but now that it is lunch time I'm a big time anxious. By this time tomorrow I will be in recovery. I keep reading this thread by a woman screen name Iggychic and she is going through some horrible complications. I understand that is the exception, not the rule but it still scares me. I so hope I am doing the right thing. If for any reason I have to out of work more than 25 days, I'm screwed because I dont have disability insurance and I only have 25 sick days saved up.

Went to Walgreens this morning. No spray, no liquid generic Tylenol but got gas ex strips. Yesterday got some tums. I know I'm going to be scared to death tomorrow. Last time I felt like this was the day i moved and it was the worst experience. Total feeling of impending doom.

Enough negative! I keep looking at before and after shots and can't wait to be an after! Down 20 lbs as of last night! Fat pants are a bit loose! Woo hoo! Anyone going to be on here tomorrow during recovery? I will be as soon as I am able.

Welcome. I just remember someone saying that you can't drink anything until later in the day or the next day this was a lifesaver. I'm doing fine of course nervous and anxious. I'm not a morning person but I plan to make it to hospital beer 530. At Walmart I bought more broth and got the vegetable broth haven't tried that one(low sodium)bc hbp. Going to Ross to pick up long lounger because that's what I will wear home no pants. I found a front close bra.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
