January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

I sometimes have to reopen the app for it to work right.

I have told my husband, sister, sister in law, and brother. I will tell my kids closer to surgery day. I will have to tell my boss but I don't think I will give him details just enough to get the time off if work.

I don't really care to tell anyone else and so far everyone has been good except my brother who made kind of a snotty comment about a friend who had the surgery then grained all the weight back.

I am set for January 8th. Although it's been a long time coming I am so worried about doing things right postOP to optimize success. Does anyone else have these fears?

Thank you for all the feedback. I feel the same way about waiting to tell until I am 100% sure they will understand. Love this app!

Hi all I was just approved and told that I will get a date in January. I am still hoping for a last minute cancellation so I can get my surgery this year for insurance purposes. But either way this is really happening! I can't believe it!

I have been very open about having the surgery as I need my family support to help with my kids and I need my boss and Co-workers help to cover while I am out. I have only one non supporter but I understand where she is coming from and just don't ask her for help.

I am still shocked that this is really happening! I was approved the day after my final visit with the nutritionist. I emailed my case worker to double check that I was really approved! Lol

I look forward to getting to know you all!

My pre op diet does not start until December 23rd. I have been walking 5 days a week for 30 minutes per my doctors order and I have lost about 8 pounds so far.

I don't have any specific number I have to meet, just the 10 day pre-op diet. Between my initial appointment and my final appointment I can't gain any more than 10 lb or my surgery will be postponed. So far I have gained 3, but I have also cut out all sweets, given up coffee, and started going to the gym 3 days a week.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
