Here I go.... Prayers welcome



Recommended Posts

On my way to hospital. Feeling good and focused and not too nervous. Finally shook off the last 4 pounds that had crept on over the last few weeks and going into this at 297. I really wanted surgery day to be under 300. I was bummed because it didn't look like that would happen but liquids and nerves seemed to do the trick. And I quit all caffeine a week ago (that was harder than anything in my opinion!!!). So here I go. Ready to conquer the world! It's a bit surreal to be here after this "hurry up and wait" for a date. I am meditating and praying and I'm asking for any and all prayers to come my way too. Thank you to all who have offered encouraging words on the journey so far.

love "those" words

you sure do sound ready/prepared :)

good for you and getting in to twoderville before surgery :)

you had a goal, you stuck to your hard work - and were successful!!!!! :)

pretty good story to start your new journey today..............

by the time you read this, you might be resting in bed after surgery

get some rest

drink slllllowly

walk as much as possible (start slowly)

this will help with any gas you might have

you are on the way to a healthier, happier, longer life :)

who deserves it more :)

speedy recovery :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
