@@JessUK

hey girlfriend

according to my calculations ;) you are officially in sleeveland :)

take it slow

IF you have ANY pain, don't be shy about asking for meds

as soon as you can - get up and SLOWLY start walking around

this will help get rid of the gas

sip sip sip slowly - get as much water/liquids as you can

i see in your future - life getting better and better

who deserves it more :)

good luck

speedy recovery

@@SparkleCat

hey bud - i didn't forget about you :)

you do all the above i said

you and @@JessUK can both smile, give a sigh of relief

and compare notes :)

take care :)

Hi,

Thank you for all the good wishes. My surgery went well with no complications. I had a lap band removed 8 months ago so there was a risk that the scarring on my stomach may get in the way but my surgeon said the scarring was minimal so he was able to do a normal shape sleeve.

I have all IV drips removed and am sipping Water and cups of tea. They even tried me with some consume but I could only manage a few spoonfuls.

One more night in hospital then home tomorrow.

Jess

      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? 🤷‍♀️
