December 2013 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

It got much better after day 4. I think my mind and body were getting adjusted to it. Praying for your surgery. I had mine Monday, 12/16 and it is a LOT more painful than I thought it would be. Thank goodness I'm not hungry b/c you literally can't eat after the surgery. My friend texted me earlier and told me not to cheat. I couldn't cheat if I wanted to. Just getting the liquids down are difficult. good luck everyone. Just keep telling yourself how much healthier and happier we will be once we heal. That's what I'm hanging on to!!

Didn't know about the swallow test AFTER surgery. It sucked before surgery. I can't even imagine having to do it with my new stomach.

@Raerae CONGRTULATIONS! I know you must be happy and anxious. I think a shorter wait time til surgery is the best thing. I cannot imagine how some of the other sleevers waited for months for the date to arrive. I'm stressing out and it's only 3 days away!

I just became one of you guys! Surgery was moved from Jan 8 to Dec 31st. No time for a final binge, had to start the liquid diet immediately. The drs office was worried about a liquid diet over Christmas but it seems to me to be a tiny sacrifice in all of this. I can not wait!

I didn't get the runs, have been so nauseous since the surgery. I agree the drink was HORRIBLE, I almost gaged. Been in the hospital since surgery on Tuesday due to my nausea issues. Praying everyone has a healthy & speedy recovery.

So happy they allowed me to come home this evening. Just been on pens and needles in fear that I might pull a staple. I bend dwn on my knees to pick something up without thinking it thru b4 I did it. So of course, I had to pull myself back up. Now, I'm terrified I pulled my staples bc I was told not to pull or push anything, I would think that would mean my own weight as well.

Hi dec sleevers. Am 14 days out. Feeling pretty good. Having trouble with puréed foods at time.s. But everything's else is great. Had terrible acid in my throat and stomach yesterday.. But it went away. Funny how i can tolerate some foods and some not.. Even though they r pureed. Lost 15 pounds since surgery. Which I am happy about. In the weeks/ months to come, I rather lose slower than too fast.feel that I can make lasting lifestyle changes that way. Hope all the dec sleevers who had the surgery are doing good. For those who will be having surgery in the remainder of dec 2013 ..don't be fearful..all will work out.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
