Waiting

Well still waiting for a surgery date. Diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and waiting on doctor to call me and get my cpap machine. Sleep study was done over a week ago. Called doctor last Friday and they said they just received a phone call the day before but no results had been faxed over and they were waiting for those. Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, WAITING SUCKS!!!!! I will be so glad when I get a date at least and then I will know for sure that this dream of mine is a reality. Stuck in a rut!

I know this post was a while ago but I hope you are feeling better? I hope you got the cpap machine, I know several people that have one and say it's the best sleep they have had in a while. waiting does suck and causes our stress to elevate which I know for me used to lead to more eating. I hope you are able to manage that stress better than me, but if not....don't beat yourself up about it. You are here which is already a great start. I did not find this website until just before surgery, which I had known about it sooner....would have helped with some of my anxiety about surgery and what to expect. Wishing you all the best and hoping to hear from you soon!

Thank you! :) I kinda haven't been on here in awhile cause I was over stressing about it all. I did receive my cpap and it is amazing! I still have issues with something on my face but I cannot begin to describe the difference it has made in me. I no longer feel like an 80 yr old when I wake up. Energy level is up and my attitude is even different according to family and friends. I love this thing and look forward to wearing it!

I still can't seem to get it together as far as food goes. I really don't have any support in that area. I work and go to school and it's too easy just to grab something. I need to get me some veggies and fruits and make some little ziplock bags so I can just grab and go.

Still waiting though because the doctor has to see the results of month long use of the machine and that will be Feb. 15. After that who knows how long it will take me to get my last appointment and get a surgery date.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
