January 22 Texas surgery patients



Recommended Posts

The January Sleevers group is so large and spread out so far. I am hoping to make contact with a smaller group of Texans who share the same surgery date and might want to stay in touch during their recovery.

Love to have y'all as sleeve buddies! I'm feeling down today... Trying to give myself permission - 2 surgeries in 30 days'll take it out of a body. The first was a lumpectomy, thankfully benign, and the catalyst for the decision to proceed with VSG. Not regretting, but feeling like I rushed. I'm here now, and looking forward to downsizing and decreasing risks.

I plan to work from home tomorrow, saving the get ready and drive energy, since I'm feeling pretty weak. It'll get better when I can have Protein, right?

I can't believe you aren't having it now! I have never heard of anyone ordered to Clear Liquids for a week. Did you have some complications? There are some Protein Drinks that are clear liquid, called Protein Shots. You are basically starving yourself and that can drastically impede your healing! Please call your doc tomorrow and ask about it. I am worried about you!

Not a complication one.... I've been up walking since 2 hours post op, all night the first night (couldnt have my sleep meds). No nausea, no leak, not even a headache. My doc was strict in the hospital too, nothing by mouth until 26 hours post op. my discharge orders say, no matter how well you feel, nothing but Water, crystal light, sf Popsicles, or broth til this Thursday. That is when I have my post op appt, which includes a nutrition class etc.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
