January 2014 Sleevers Come In!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved today...or i'll now say yesterday...at 10am. The surgery went great!!! The pain is and always was pretty manageable, my throat is just a tad bit raw, I had one small episode of vomiting, and the staff at the hospital has made me very comfortable. But here in Jersey, the time is now 2:54am...why am I still awake? Because my roommate has decided to wait until 12:30 am to complain non - stop about everything, and now says the pain in his leg is totally unbearable. I understand that pain is pain...I really do...But even after medications were given and everything, I think he's just cursing and swearing and speaking at the top of his lungs just to hear himself speak...No rest for the weary tonight.

You will do fine...best wishes!

Surgery went well. Pain free at the moment w/o medication. Just uncomfortable bc of hiccups and gas. Drinking my liquids. I could go home today if everything is ok instead of tomorrow

I am sorry. My surgery was also cancelled due to the weather. I do understand how you feel I am feeling the same way. Also I still have to drink these Protein Shakes until I hear something. Ugh

Home from the hospital...In a little bit of pain, but nothing unbearable. Did have some nausea, and a little vomit, but this will pass. Doing a lot of burping, but luckily no shoulder pain. Now I'm so looking forward to being a loser, and joining all my other loser friends!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
