I got sleeved Tuesday morning! It went smooth. I was scared mostly about the IV. I was so scared I was shaking and the anesthesiologist tried to put it in my wrist and it busted my vein.. Blood everywhere! Eek! Then she put a new one in my arm which worked fine! I couldn't pee to save my life.. I finally did after I had my IV etc in. Surgery went smooth and day 1 in the hospital was a breeze! Day 2 I had a little more pain. My IV leaked and my arm/hand got really swollen/ filled with Fluid. The chocolate 'oh yeah' little shots weren't going down great (I had like heartburn from all my swelling)

So they gave me Isopure it was this grape drink with 40 grams of protein! That worked sooooo much better for me! I had a nose bleed late last night and had to cough up blood! Coughing HURTS but so does laughing and I did that quite a bit too! I got released today.. Free at last, free at last! I feel like I can move without an IV in! I'm really happy with getting this! And although day 2 was hard, I'm having a great day 3! Good luck to y'all!! Just think this time next summer a possible bikini or at least tankini! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
