Getting sleeved with Dr Garcia and R4AC on June 8!



Recommended Posts

Hey everybody! So excited for the transformation.

I fly out on June 7 (my birthday) for the operation on the 8th. I started my pre-op diet early so I could have a shot at lowering my BMI enough to save $500. So far down 13 lbs in 10 days. Need another 18 lbs in the 3+ weeks left. Anybody else going in at that time?

Some questions...

Protein Drinks vs powders. Does it matter? I've been using Atkins and EAS ready to drink and both seem fine. Any suggestions on this?

What should I bring with me? Gas-x? chicken boullion?

My wife wants to come but stay at the Marriott while I am in the hospital. Will it be easy for her to come and visit and are there fun things for her to do in the area?

Speaking of which...we arrive fairly early on the 7th and will have most of the day in TJ. What would be a fun thing for us to do that I might not have the energy for after the surgery?

Thanks for all your help!

Dave

      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? 🤷‍♀️
