October 2013 Sleevers Roll call!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site so I'm very excited to read what you all have to share!<br><br>

Surgery date 08oct13<br>

STarting weight 266<br>

Today's weight 229<br><br>

Goal... 10 pounds at a time<br><br>

It's bloody cold here in northern Alberta so walking outside is harder now than before. I'm going to get my son to help me set up the wii so I can get back on the exercise that I'm supposed to be doing. Protein intake is good about 80g and my struggle is getting enough Water. Other than that, no complaints and NO REGRETS!

I noticed I have felt cold since sleeve.

I have asked my case nurse, she said ". Well you just lost a layer of blubber"

But I hear it a lot on here. I think there is a body thermostat thing that needs to adjust to weight loss.

You lost 30lbs in 3 weeks?!! Wow!

Yeah, there were a couple of days where I gained a pound or two, but then I figured out that I needed to keep up with the Miralax, and then I'd drop what I'd gained the next day. Constipation's no joke! I'm anticipating the dreaded "third week stall", but I'm ramping up my Protein and Fluid and hopefully, I won't stall at all.

I'm buying Miralax on my way home tonight!!! I need it anyway. I only go once a week since this surgery and that's with MOM when I used to go daily preop. It is NO JOKE!!
I was constipatedThursday and Friday. NO JOKE,!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
