It's Done And Im Home!



Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone!

As far as prepping goes I followed the recommendations from people on the forms and did not use any of it! Was too tired to mess with my phone or laptop. They gave me a lip moisturizer so I didn't use my stuff. I brought gas x but found out walking was just as effective. But I never had the sharp pains people talk about. I am finding it hard to sleep for more then 3 hrs at a time so I take a few laps around my house' date=' sip on some Water and go back to bed. I was cleared for Protein shakes right away but I am not using them cuz it's hard enough for me to get my Water in right now. I'm more worried about dehydration then Protein right now[/quote']

Good luck with your recovery.

Way to go Donny! It sounds like you got this thing licked! I'm with you on the sweet drinks, I am 4 months out and I can't eat or drink anything with sugar in it, it makes me sick, but I guess that is to my advantage, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to lose 87 lbs!

Awesome job! Hope your recovery is as smooth as mine! I was fortunate enough to not have a catheter, drain, or blood thinner shots.

      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.
