My first post....Surgery Jan 6th



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery Monday Jn. 6th - I came home today and I'm surprised how good I feel. Just wanted to share because I know I had some fear and if this reassures anyone that's a good thing! Now the fun. Engines as I figure my food plan out.

Today is day 3 post surgery. I got to start full liquids! Yay! Had yogurt for Breakfast, about 2 oz Protein Shake for lunch and some really yummy potato Soup that I put thru the blender for dinner. I have pain in my left side, which I understand is normal. My BP was a little high this morning, but my meds got changed after the surgery and I doubt they are in my system good. All in all, I think I am doing pretty good. I haven't gotten all my fluids in today. The eating in between has thrown me off. I will concentrate on liquids this evening and do better tomorrow. When does the weight loss start? Lol! I know I am not eating much and just seems the scale would start moving a little!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I'm still trying to figure this site out. Can someone tell me how to set the ticker up?

I am closing out my first week post up nd it has mostly been successful. I am able to et without problems and I've found if I plan my day out. Factoring in a minimum of my 60 grams of Protein and set my 64 oz of Water out it helps me reach the two most important goals of the day.

For me with iPad, under My Surgery, you will see hour screen eg. My name "Hi Kata13". Click on that and you will see ticker as an option.

If you are on a computer you go up to your user name in the upper right corner and hit the settings button (looks like a gear) and in that drop down menu it has a My TIckers button

      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? 🤷‍♀️
