I'm so nervous for this change that I managed to crap myself in the shower. And I'm a state corrections officer in a men's prison, for Christs sake.

Here we go, everyone. Wish me luck, prayers, good energy, healing, or whatever you believe in- I will take it. Love you all.

Work it girl!!! Good for you!! :) I've had a few surgeries where they pump you full of gas, and the best/only way to keep it from hurting or get it to stop, is walk your butt off!! Lol Plus, I always found it kept me from getting stiff, which is no fun with new incisions!!

I'm so happy for you! You'll do great!! keep up updated... between naps!! Lol ;)

Honestly, as much as you feel like you can! I had a lap band, lap band removal and lap band replacement, and all 3 surgeries required a body full of gas!! As soon as I felt up to it, I started walking. It can be deceptive because getting out of bed is the hardest part of the walk! Don't decide you can't walk just because you are sore getting up!! Start walking and see how you feel.

I would walk a couple laps around the hospital floor until I got tired and then go rest for a little while and start over. If you can do 10 mins every hour the first few days without hurting, do it!! After my lap band removal I was stuck in bed from complications with the surgery, and wow could I feel the difference from not walking. That surgery was the worst with gas pain. And pain meds don't help gas pains!! lol Just gotta get moving!! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
