Tomorrow is the day????



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting on and now that it's so close I am freaking out. I just keep thinking about all my favorite foods and how much I used to eat knowing I will never eat like that again!

Those thoughts have crossed my mind as well as my date is coming up this upcoming Monday. But I try to remind myself this is what is necessary for me. Limitation is our friend and we should become besties with it. Fave foods will taste even better in moderation and I hope to appreciate them when I do occasionally partake. Also keep in mind that your tastes may change where you won't even care to eat your favorites. I kinda hope to be in that boat. Stay strong and good luck with your surgery! Please let us know how you are afterwards when you can!! ♡

You will be able to eat your favorite foods again. Just smaller amounts. And not for a few months. And if your lucky, by the time you can eat it, you won't really want it. Your taste will change and sometimes that's a good thing!

Thanks surgery went great! I am feeling so amazing and yes food is the very last thing on my brain so whooo hooo... I have been walking, sitting up at the nurses station and running my mouth lol, I did have a rough patch with gas when I first woke but It only lasted a couple hours cause they told me to walk so I know I walked about and hour out of those two and I have been keeping up walking every hour for 15-20 mins!!

It is really hard to get liquids down and I can not even think of food. I was do afraid that I was going to be starving only to discover every sip of Water is a fight!

      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.
