YAYYYY! I was traveling all day yesterday and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't check in on you to see how things were going. Glad to see you're recovering nicely.

Did you have to drink ALL of those blue cups for the leak test????!!!! OMG!

Let's hope the blue stuff passes right out to the other end and not inside! Wishing you well, Amanda!

No blue in my drain bag! Almost done with nasty liquid.

Ew I only had to drink like half of a styrofoam cup of the nasty blue ****. I hope those are shooter sizes and not full sized cups in the photo!

They were very small cups. The size used to pass meds.

Drain comes out tomorrow after barium leak test/x-ray. Thursday will be back to San Diego. Flying home on Friday.

Ha! The pic of me with a blue tongue was actually taken by Dr. Aceves! He is such a nice man.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
