January 2014 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow January sleevers, I'm having a band-revision down January 27 at OCC with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. Getting pretty excited as it's only 3 weeks away.

My surgery is one week from tomorrow - the 14th.

Pre-op diet is okay, but my surgeon's recommendation is not as strict as many others. High Protein, low carbo. I'm making chicken Soup (no noodles) for dinner but craving fruit. Cleaned the bad stuff out of the kitchen today ... and DID NOT EAT IT!

MyFitnessPal and my new Fitbit are ultra-helpful but today it's too cold here in Chicago to go walking for very long.

Tomorrow is pre-op test day, and my last pre-op nutrition class.

I'm a bit nervous, but more excited than anything. This forum really helps.

My surgery date is Janaury 16th. Last appt. is today and I think I start pre-op diet tomorrow. A little worried about the diet, hoping I don't feel yucky since I have to work. Good luck all!

I guess I forgot to add myself to this thread. My surgery is on January 15th. A week through the pre-op and no longer have headaches, knock on wood. Having many personal issues at home recently which isn't good, but I'm trying to focus on the positive stuff going on in my life like this surgery. One more week and I'll be on the other side.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
