How did you do it?



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve surgery exactly one week ago. I was doing great, no trouble with not eating or with moving around. Then I hurt My foot. I am in pain and having trouble moving around. I am so at the end of my rope! I just want to be done.How do/did you handle this?

What do you want to be done? You want to be at goal after a week out?

Well, reality check...this won't happen. But you can be assured you will continue to lose weight, perhaps a little more slowly now that you can't be active...but the sleeve does work.

I hope you get better soon. Hugs - I love my sleeve and have no regrets.

Hi,we do it very slowly in the beginning.And I mean,rest enough,sip,sip,sip.Be nice to yourself.Take liquid pain meds when needed.

I didnt move much for 10 days,I felt way to sorry for myself to think about moving much.Thought my life was over..lol.Just walked slowly down the stairs every hour to get more Water or broth.And then I felt much better after 10 days.

Just hang in there,it will get much better soon.

:-) I do believe in miracles, but wasn't really expecting that. :-)

No one said I was being logical :- D Just going through a down period. I know that that it is a process, but frustration doesn't always make me logical. What I was wishing was over was this stage where I can only have liquid. I do understand the necessity of it.

Today I feel better. Tomorrow I go talk to my surgeon. Hopefully on to the next stage.

Free2bme002,

I will be sleeved at the end of the month so I really don't have much advice to offer. It would be a bummer to be healing nicely and then BAM, getting hurt. Feeling a bit down is completely understandable.

Hope you have a good conversation with your surgeon and you leave feeling much better! I'm excited for you to move onto your next stage too. Soon this recovery phase will be history and you will be feeling normal again. Best wishes to you.

My sleeve was done Dec 26th and I know exactly what you are going through. Fatique is getting me big time and I am hoping now that I can take vitamin's and swallow pills again it will get better. Stay focused on the positive outcome of doing this procedure. Journal your feelings and write down everything you drink to track the amount of Fluid and grams of Protein. If you are a bit under don't stress but know as you go day by day it will get better.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
