I'm finally home. Got out August 05. I had problems swallowing and my creatin levels went waaaay down. I've been home for 24 hours and my legs are swelling. So now I'm calling the doctor.

Gotta say, once a couple of issues were addressed:

  1. removing the drain tube
  2. turning the air conditioner off [i have Fibromyalgia]
  3. Figuring out how to take my crushable meds despite the taste.

The pain is bearable. I have severe Fibromyalgia so I live with excruciating pain every day.

I had a really rough week. I'm finally beginning to feel better. I had a lot of chest pain, pressure and shortness of breath. This was mostly due to the unexpected hernia repair. Today I finally felt strong enough to get out. I walked the aisles at Target just to get some exercise. It's just too hot outside to go walking. Glad to hear my "sleeve sisters" are doing well. Let's all just stay in touch.

My hubby and I are August 1st sleevers. I'm down 21 from pre op and hubby is down almost 40!

Mushy foods start tomorrow but we've already had a scrambled egg and over cooked noodles.

Amazed that I can eat such a small amount and be full!!

      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.
