If your spirometer is put together correctly. Make see the hose is in the "patient side" hole. I sucked like crazy on that dang thing and couldn't make that ball move. Til I showed the nurse that it said "patient side" on it. Sigh.

I'm back at the hotel now. Had some great broth that I could only eat 3/4 of. Had a Popsicle that I couldn't finish either. The drain tube coming out didn't hurt. When she went to pull it out I freaked out for a second and started hollowing STOP STOP STOP and then my friends busted out laughing and told me it was done already. So it really doesn't hurt. The staples will come out tomorrow so I will let u know how that goes. I know now why fellow sleevers don't post so much after surgery. Sorry I have not been posting to much but 1st day was bad and 2nd day was better but not great and the 3rd day WOW I FEEL GREAT. Not hungry but I am thirsty. I got to meet SChavez b4 surgery. I also talked to Jay1234 he is here at the hotel. Well fixing to go get some more chicken or beef broth.

Glad you feel so great! That's a lot of broth, go uou! I only got like 10 sips in at a time then it would go cold. Ew. Lol

You'll notice that each batch of broth will taste different. Mu fave was the super salty kind. Don't judge me. Lol

Anyway, it's all better from now!

Had a great day today. We went shopping at a place call Revolution. It was fun and if u like to haggle u can get stuff for cheap. We took a taxi from the hotel and it was $7.00 but we gave him $10.00 and when we were done he gave us his number and one of the shop owners called him for us. My friend wanted me to make sure I told everybody about how good the food was at the hospital. On the 4th floor by the elevator was a little kitchen and she said the food was great and very cheap. She also said that the kitchen/store was also great and cheap. The only thing is,they both close at 4 pm and are closed on weekends. When she would go get lunch she would order dinner and then go back down at 3:45pm and pick up her dinner. Dr. Luna came to the hotel and took are staples out today. It didn't hurt!!! He talked to us about getting in are Protein and what kind is best. (Iso-pure from GNC).Then Rosie stopped by to see if we had any questions. We went down to the restaurant after she left and got a broth and mash potatoes. We took about 2 tbs of mash potato and chicken broth and made a thin Soup out of it. It was so good. I have only got one bottle of peach flavored pedialyte in today. I'm trying to get in another bottle of power ade but I'm so full. Well we leave tomorrow :( Our plane leaves at 12:45pm and the time changes tonight so we r confused. Time does not change in Tijuana. They like to have at least 4 hour to cross the boarder. I hope it don't take us that long. So I will let u know how tomorrow goes.

Rohler, what channels did you have on the tv? Or what tv shows were you able to watch. Trying to decide if I need to try to bring something to watch.

There are a few English speaking stations at the Hospital but even less at the Hotel. I just mostly watched a station I found that was broadcasted through San Diego so it was English. In my opinion I would take something if you can and have room for it.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
