How do you all get motivated to work out.....I get light headed like I am going to pass out' date=' just walking in wal-mart.....maybe something is wrong?[/quote']

Are you getting enough Protein? I have been going to the gym 5-6 days a week with no problem but I do get light headed if I don't get enough Protein. Also my blood pressure is pretty low so they may have something to do with it.

Sleeved 5/22

Starting weight-246

Surgery day-234

Day after surgery-236

For me: I drink a Protein Shake an hour before I got I the gym and drink Water while on the treadmill. It helps a lot. Start off with a short distance. As your tolerance builds up.....you'll do better. Lets all do this together.

:-)

Good Luck. Hope to see you shrinking.

Are you on blood pressure meds? They might need to be changed with weight loss?

I feel great' date=' losing weight, finally. I felt so conflicted about getting another surgery, I felt I had failed the lapband, what's to say that I won't fail with this. And I was eating right and exercising, but I couldn't stop throwing up with the band. My surgeon said he knew how I could feel that way, but the band failed me. Not the opposite. The first few weeks of the sleeved life is hard, but I'm 5 weeks out now, and I feel great![/quote']

I'm glad that u r ok nd everything is much better I can only amazing how u felt about the lapband I proli would have cried lol . But I'm very glad u r Ok nd keep up da good work

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
