2 weeks after surgery



Recommended Posts

I just had my surgery on March 11th and I can't make the support groups that my surgeon recommended because my kids have evening activities. Does anybody have any recommendations for me?

Also, on a side note, today is the first day I get to go back to the gym, any ideas on exercises I can do? They still told me to not do anything that involves the stomach, core muscles or back for 2 more weeks.

Hello Debi,

My name is Dany and I belong to a support group on Facebook. It is call Real Support for Real People. It's a small group and was recently created. The group was created because my friends and I belong to a larger group but did not get the support we needed. People join support groups for guidance, insight, and support from the veterans because we have no idea what to expect from the other side and that is what we are about. What I received from the other group was assumption, doubt, and criticism, and that is one thing that we do not want in our new group. We are here to help each other out through this and to give insight. If you need to vent, we are there, if you are having a problem, we will help you to figure it out, and if you are happy and want to share, then we want to hear about it. If you are interested, contact me.

I have notice on here the veterans are A Holes. You would think they would be happier. I guess they have more problems than just weight.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
