nervous scared & excited

toy27

most all soon to be sleevers have the above emotions

completely normal

hold on to the excitement part

put the "nerves" on the way back burner

before you know it - it will be tomorrow :)

WLS will be over - you slept right through it :lol:

get a good rest in the hospital

walking, walking and more walking is important to get rid of any gas you might have

it also starts to give you some needed "strength"

drinking might be hard at first - take it slow - but due your best :)

you will be on the road to health and happiness and a longer lifetime :)

good luck

speedy recovery :)

It's pretty normal to be nervous. I was! It goes really quick and when you wake up you'll probably be in a little pain (nothing you can't handle) and lots of lovely gas. Walk as much and as often as you can - that's the way to feel better. sip, sip, sip - that is about all you'll be able to handle. Don't drink anything too fast. The first week is a little rough because you're trying to figure stuff out - but by the beginning of the second week I was home free. Make sure you take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. Most of all .... don't look back. You'll love the sleeved life - I certainly do! Good luck and keep us posted. We'll be thinking of you.

      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.
