Surgery tomorrow with Dr. Alvarez



Recommended Posts

I am typing this from my hotel room in Eagle Pass, TX. The driver will pick us up at 7:15 tomorrow morning. I feel like I have a split personality disorder. I have been on the verge of tears one minute and really excited the next. I will try to update as soon as I can.

I can imagine how your emotions are going all over the place. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong. Deep breath.

Surgery went well yesterday. I was in and out of sleep most of the afternoon, but i did get up and do some walking in the evening. I felt a pressure in the center of my upper stomach, i would describe it as discomfort more than pain. I haven't gotten sick, but i have waves of naseau that generally last from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. That has happened 5-6 times now. Today the gas pain seems worse. I have been trying to walk as much as I can. I also have to have 1 ice chip every 3 minutes. I also took a nice long nap this afternoon. Overall the recovery so far has gone better than I expected it to, but stillno walk in the park.

You make it home okay? Let me know how you are!

Yes, we made it home and I slept great last night. Thanks for the Jello. I think it really helped. I am feeling so much better today. How are you doing? Are the pain meds making you tired at all? I feel like they knock me out.

I felt like it helped too. I may be crazy, but it felt just a little bit heavier, like it was pushing the gas in the right direction! I wish I was home. Just now getting ready for the airport!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
