Ready To Get Out



Recommended Posts

I m almost three weeks post op and I have been laying around a lot. I ve been sore and tired. But I feel like tomorrow I am finally ready to start back into normal life. However I can't help feeling lonely in this whole process. Like i just don't function like the rest of the world does now. Anyone else feeling that? Friends and family have been great, but they don't have to do what I do.

I understand how you feel. After my surgery I was very emotional and moody. I'm never normally like that. As far as being tired that's normal. You just have to push yourself to get out. Start with a short walk and increase it as you go along. This is a long journey but at the end you will be happy. My surgery was April 23, 2012 and I am down 88 pounds. I am so happy. I have 22 more to lose before I reach my goals.

I'm four weeks post op and still a lil tired but really depressed. So I know how you feel. Take it one day at a time. That's what I'm doing.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
