January Dates



Recommended Posts

I am just numb. I am on my way to the hospital at 6pm UMPC Greenville PA, Dr. Christopher Meyers my surgeon.... prep starts at 7:30am, surgery at 9:30am I cannot believe I am really doing this, but I have God on my side and if it is his will I see all of my surgery buddies on the losing side. God bless and good luck and a speed recovery and no complications and after surgery we can move from pre-op to post-op. I am praying for us all:

I have my surgery is on Wednesday the January 16th. I was in high gear anxiety mode on Saturday what was fine yesterday. Today I want to finish packing, paying bills, making a last minute phone calls to doctors offices, etcetera. I also want to make sure I have a good grocery list for my husband. Tomorrow I spend in the bathroom lol and then Wednesday will be here before I know it! My only fear at this point is of picking up the flu well I'm in the hospital. I swear I have never gone to the hospital without being sicker when I left!

Hello all... Had surgery 1-9' date=' got home saturday from hospital. I had to stay an extra night cause I started running a fever. Was on HBP meds before surgery but had extreme low BP post surgery. So I came home off my BP meds. Wow!! I am having pain, trying to stay on top of my meds so it doesnt get bad. The worst thing so far is the phlegm you get in your chest/throat. You have to get it up and it hurts to do so. I can not swallow pills very well because if it. My tastebuds are whacked (anyone else?) Everything is absolutely gross. I just been trying to get Water in. Hows everyone else from surgery last week? R u on liquids? ?[/quote']

Happy everything went well for you! I had to stay and extra night too, my heart rate was irregular and in the 160's when I walked. That's cool no BP meds! The phlegm is gross but the pillow trick works, just put it over your belly! Gatorade was disgustingly sweet so I stayed away from it! I'm doing sugar free luigi Italian ice and water, tried broth but could only get 2 oz in then I was nauseous! Do you have diarrhea? I know that's a lot of info but I have had it since Saturday and its not going away

      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? 🤷‍♀️
