3 weeks out from Panni



Recommended Posts

This has been rough between 6 days in icu to this recovery is no joke but overall once I'm back to 100% it will all be worth it still have some swelling and pain just where the remaining drain is (left is out) right is still in and bleeding around 40-70 ml a day

Overall I'm so excited went from almost 400 pounds in 4/5x shirts down to and XL and slimming I can wait to get rid of my tummy once I am approved to get into the gym no turning back now :)

I hear ya on the boredom front, particularly when one has gotten used to being active. When I had a shoulder repair done last year, they at least got me into some physical therapy within a couple of weeks, but the reconstruction was just couch potato time for so long, and even once the drains are out, if there are any parts of the incisions that are slow to close (not an uncommon semi-complication) that can delay things further. Once they were all finally closed up, the doc was eager to get me back into the pool to start stretching things out again.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
