Can't Wait To Work Without My Legs Hurting At The End Of The Day.



Recommended Posts

I am a teacher and on my feet all day. Tonight, as I was grocery shopping, my legs were hurting. I realized how much better they will be feeling once the weight starts coming off.

I'm down 40lbs after my 10/16 sleeve date and I can tell you for sure that relief starts immediately - I can't imagine how great it will be next year at this time. Good luck! I'm a corporate trainer do more forgiving than your role but painful to carry this weight nonetheless. I can already tell a huge difference!

I teach as well. What do you teach? What is your plan to navigate the school year and surgery/ recovery?

I teach 6-8 grade English and history. My principal and co-workers are so excited for me and are being very supportive. I am having surgery on the 17th of Dec. Hoping to just miss that week and one after the break.

I'm with you on that! My date is Dec.3 and I am on my 2 week pre-op diet. Funny how each surgeon is different about the pre-op process. However, it's working for me!

I teach English also! A lot of people that I know have told that they felt great after just a couple weeks. I'm sure you will be able to get back to work within that time frame :).

      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.
