January Dates



Recommended Posts

Just got call from hospital and I have to be there at 5:30 am Friday. I have over 2 hour drive so won't sleep much night before. They said all the rooms are big private rooms with fold out couch so my hubby can stay in there with me. I'm getting excited!!!

That is so great! I hope I get a private room....I don't think my hubby will stay, but I really would like my own room. God bless and take care on Friday!

Thanks guys I am so excited and I love this site because everyone is so supportive and positive. I originally thought I was going to get the sleeve and I was registered on vertical sleeve talk and that forum is so negative and it was always something bad I was reading. I am so relieved to talk to the people on RNY talk. Thanks again very much for all your support and good luck and God bless to everyone out there going through this!!!

OH NO> I am getting a cold. I could cry. Got up this morning with my throat on fire. My surgery is Wednesday. I am so afraid I am going to be sick and they won't do the surgery. Hubby was sick with a cold last week and I did everything in my power to stay away from him and not get it. Help What can I do to ward off this cold. I am on a liquid diet so I can drink orange juice or anything to help me. What should I take. Any suggestions??? Help!!

I totally understand. Two days before my surgery I got the flu and I was deathly ill. I was so upset at first but looking back I'm glad I put it off two weeks so I could be at my best for surgery. Take Vitamin C and drink plenty of fluids. If you think you may be getting the flu get in Tamiflu ASAP. Call your doctor. When I thought mine was just a cold they said I could take Claritin. Good luck and know that no matter what happens God is in control and He has a reason for everything.

I probably wouldn't mind so much if I was not doing this 2 week liquid diet that the surgeon require before surgery. I am on day 8. I would hate to have to do this again. Did you have to do it again before surgery. I am just a basket case thinking that I would have to starve for 2 more weeks. I am just so upset. This can not be happening to me. :(

My diet wasn't so bad all liquids with a small lean cuisine under 1000 cal (I did that on my own.) I just kept going with it but I can understand how frustrating it is. Honestly while I had the flu I had to force myself to drink the small amounts I got down. I felt horrible. I will be praying for you to heal quickly. I am sorry you are sick.

I would be happy if I got a lean cuisine meal. I am on the opti fast. I can have 4 shakes, 1 Protein Bar and a Soup . And the soup is a powder you add to Water. I am so hungry right now and I have only lost 6lbs. I can hardly wait to have this surgery so I don't feel so hungry. I was only given my 2 weeks worth. I had to pay $300.00 out of pocket for it. I don't have another 300.00 to put out either for this. UGH!

Getting more nervous. RN called today along with pre-registration. Still don't have time yet for my surgery on the 29th. Good thing is I only have to do a two day liquid diet and no bowel prep. Trying to stay away from the last supper mentality. :/

That is an excellent outlook! I wish i had inly had a "last meal" instead of the indulging I did for darn near a week. The more you eat the more you have to lose after surgery. It's just not worth the risk. Best of luck to you!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
