Recommended Posts

Ahaha!!! I just found myself thinking "maybe I should shave my legs if I'm going to be wearing those skimpy gowns" lol silly I know!

Don't do it. I did and when you bath with the soap they give you preop it stings and causes red bumps

To Montage:

You have numbness around your incisions b/c your nerves have been cut. They need time to regenerate. It should come back in a couple of months. I do have one old incision however that some spots the feeling never came back. your arm though is a different story. Unless it's where the IV was maybe :-)

6 days post op and still on Clear Liquids and so far I haven't killed anyone. I'm gonna say this was a good day ;)

Best wishes to you guys having surgery tomorrow. May the fart gods smile kindly upon you in the coming days. I'm pretty sure I read that in a fortune cookie or something.

Surgery Tuesday and I am scared and nervous....no sleep in my future I can already tell

You are going to do great. I was exactly where you are one week ago. I had mine last Tuesday. I only slept a bit the night before thanks to Ambien...I had some trouble sleeping because I was so hungry....And nervous. Just think, in one week it will be behind you and you will feel so much better. Best of luck to you on Tuesday. It's normal to be scared and nervous. If you have any good sleeping pills I would take one Monday night.

I am so very excited to share my progress with you today. It is amazing what a difference no insulin makes in my weight loss. I weighed last on Wednesday because I had weighed at the doctor’s office on the Wednesday before that and wanted to see what a week did. I lost 8 pounds that week. I switched it to Monday today because my surgery is on Monday in a week so that way I will be on track for Mondays from now on. Long story short (I know, too late) from Wednesday to Monday – 5 days – I have lost 14 pounds. That is 27 pounds on the pre op diet in two weeks and 10 pounds prior to that for a total of 37 pounds all together. Thank you all for your continued prayers.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
