August 2013 Roll Call



Recommended Posts

Thankfully I don't have to do the all liquid diet. I have to do 2 Protein Shakes and 2 low carb meals a day. No white breads or refined sugars. It's hard but i know it's nowhere near as hard as all liquids! Keep pushing! We're almost there!

Lol its no fun but will be worth it! Good luck to you. Aug. 26th for me. Counting down!

Just got out of surgery. Right side pain but ok. Didnt speak yo Dr yet. Dr told my wife my liver was real fatty and had to move it whatever

That means. My fault for eating shrimp parmagiana and cake on the pre op i guess.

Well, had my surgery on the 19th. Not much pain at all except for gas. I could inflate a blimp right now...lol I had to stay 2 nights and got home this morning. I slept great last night, about 10 hours. So far so good on getting Water and shakes down. How are all my other 8/19 mates doing? Great I hope.

I was sleeved on 8/16. I was super nervous but it will be over before you know it. My husband and I actually joked that it was pretty anticlimactic after all this build up. the dr gave me something to relax' date=' and then next thing i know i woke up in my room. i was a little nauseous but they gave me meds for that asap and then i was nodding in an out like a heroin addict. it really was a lot less bad than i expected, especially after reading the complications board non-stop.[/quote']

Lol I was exactly the same as you, in and out of conciousness, the nurses were all telling me i, d open my eyes say something and then they, d be rolling in back of my head, I woke up next morning had a cuppa tea showered and walked around hardly any gas too :-) hope all my fellow 19 th sleevers are feeling better today :-D

Do your breathing exercises and walk walk walk walk!! Take pain meds if they get too bad. They will go away before you know it. Even if you're just laying there lift your knees up and move your body however you comfortably can.

      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.
