My port and my bra are not getting along at all. 2 weeks post op and of course my port area is sore as expected. Heck my steri-strips just fell off a few days ago. Anyway...Finally got out today & went to the mall and had several "Ouch" moments. My port was killing me when I would bend a certain way or reach. Got home and figured out it was my bra causing the irritation. With the bra on it causes restriction so when I bend it would pull. But afer all those pains I felt i am now braless but still having pain. So back to the Loritab I go and Sports Bras from on until I heal. I know...tmi

Two nights ago I was sleepless and I was tired but I couldn't fall to sleep, my port area was acting up, hurting if I got on my side...well at about 4 am. I realized it was my bra...I was wearing a tight bra, because I am terrorized that my breast is going to get saggy, and my husband is not going to like it anymore, which is only in my head...he keeps telling me that the most important thing is my health, but I don't want my bubbies to go flat =:(

Dr. Oz saI'd wearing bras all the time make your breast sag. I was always taught the opposite. Just FYI.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
