Hey guys hope every in days has been great. Sorry i had connectivity issues but I'm red hot and rolling now. I will send list to everyone that requested it and send me your as well. Saw my Bariatrician today and my surgeon is REQUIRING me to have a sleep study even though my insurance company don't require it but it's cool.

So did I!!! I was like "poor me. No one to help me. Maybe I'll get a long wooden spoon for my bathroom buddy and if I can't bend, well.... You get the idea"

Okay everyone....if your stay in the hospital is as quick as mine was (surgery on Wednesday eve/home Thursday afternoon), which I'm sure it will be ....this is what you'll need: comfy clothes (I wore sweats with an elastic waist), slippers and robe, comfy pillow (if you choose....I didn't), toothbrush and paste, Chapstick, electronics and chargers. I didn't have time for anything else as my stay was VERY short! I didn't even walk, except to go to the potty. I had NO incision pain but tons of gas pain. I didn't use Gas-X til I got home but it didn't work. I had CRAZY nausea. The night of surgery, I was able to sleep on my side and have been sleeping normal since!

I am a tummy sleeper as well and I think I was back to tummy sleeping right away. I did use my Percocet and Tylenol for a few days but I probably could've gotten away with only using the Tylenol....8)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
