November Dates



Recommended Posts

Well everyone I made it through. Kinda sore but not to bad. Eating pudding type foods already and home. Ya! I'm drinking alot and am actually liking crystal light lemonade. Did not like it before. My husband was such a trooper for me. He stayed in hospital the whole time and slept in a very small recliner and got up and walked with me. He's so supportive .

Congrats...your husband is very sweet

Oh guys I can't believe you posted that, about sinus! Thought I was the only one! I had antibiotics last week but still have some sinus issues and a cough, totally feel fine, but the lingering cough and sneezing have me terrified they will cancel Thursday's surgery!

I'm still waiting on a callback. I guess I'll call the surgeons office in the am. I hope they don't decide to cancel mind either because of this. I hope it's only allergies. Hubby and I were cleaning today and the dust from storage was something else. I hope this clears up by Wednesday. I hope all of you ladies feel better. :)

Ladies (and Gents, if interested.) ... I had the thought of starting up a clothing exchange. That part of the forum seems to have dwindled down. I think that would be a good idea. What do you all think? Me personally, I've asked for gift cards to clothing stores for holidays, birthday, and v-day that way I can buy here and there without spending much. I'll be doing most of my shopping at the Salvation Army and GoodWill for work clothes since we have a business casual dress code.

Ok now Im 4 days post op. The weight is exploding off at 2.5 pounds per day. I've lost 20 total with pre op. i think part of it is doc has me on Clear Liquids for two weeks post op.Tomorrow Im going to start walking again. Today I pulled out my on-q pump. I also use a heating pad at night in lower back to try to help circulation. I believe it helps a great deal. My wife and I went to the grocery store today. That was a mistake! food, food and more food. Not a lot that any good for you. Lots of obese people as well. Not that Im judging, Im just wondering how bad Americans are getting with overweight. Once I make some progress ill do some pics. My beginning pic is downright scary!

      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.
