Look at my sad photo - **Warning** MAJOR pity party



Recommended Posts

This is my luggage all packed and ready for my Mexico sleeve adventure with Dr Illan. It's been laying there since last Wednesday but I never got to Mexico. My house/pet sitter had a family emergency and so I had to cancel.

I was so bummed I haven't even been back to this forum until now. I would have been sleeved last Saturday and coming home tomorrow.

To make matters worse I can't even re-book straight away. I'm becoming a US Citizen next week and cannot leave the country without a US Passport so it's going to be another 2-3 weeks. I know I sound whiny but I had worked myself up to this for several weeks, I had been on a liquid diet for a week too so this just threw me for a loop.

Anyway, that's my vent out of the way, I will be more cheerful from now on I promise !!

Cute luggage! I'm sorry that happened, but it'll only be a few weeks and you can reschedule! And now, you've had some practice at the liquid diet! :)

Aww, that's a justifiable whinge. You must be very disappointed. Not least because you'd done a week of liquids! Try not to be too glum. Give it another few weeks and you'll be good to go again. Hang in there, treacle :) x

lol no, treacle is a sweet Syrup like substance made out of molasses. So, to american-ize it, I suppose it's akin to calling someone 'sugar', or 'honey'? And OI! What's wrong with British bloody puddings? ! We make some of the unhealthiest stodge in the world! <she says whilst rubbing her overly rotund belly>

I totally get it. I had to reschedule my surgery at the last minute because of a pre op test coming back whacko. It took the wind out my sails in a way I can't explain.

Good news, sleeved a few weeks later and SO worth the wait!

Good luck to you, it will be worth it!

Why would one want to eat a pudding made of blood? I prefer mine to be made of chocolate.

YES !! that is a great way of describing it - I was completely deflated. You spend so much time preparing yourself and thinking about it and stressing about it and all of a sudden it isn't there. It was the weirdest feeling - I stayed home all weekend in a fog, just did not know what to do with myself. So glad that you got sleeved and through it though - that's got to feel great !!

We do in fact eat something called black pudding which is made out of pigs blood... It's delicious! :)

Eeeeeek! I meant you were sad. I'd be sad, too, if I had to push my date out. Did I say something different in your English? :D

And yes....we have an international market and spotted d**k always gets my husband and teenaged girls snickering madly. Don't know what it is, but it does inspire giggly laughter for at least two aisles.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
