Where my May 5th Sleevers at? Chime in please! One Week!



Recommended Posts

Hello Fellow May 5th Sleevers. Just found this little group and am glad to be able to compare my progress with all of you. I had my surgery in the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oxford Mississippi. I am 68 years old, an Inflammatory Breast Cancer Survivor and am benefiting already from my sleeve!!! I am down 26 lbs since the pre-op diet and have found that the bone pain in my legs from chemo, radiation and steroids is fading fast!!! I couldn't walk 10 feet without pain. This morning...in 2 separate tries, I walked a mile!!! Yeah ME!!! Hoping to get rid of some of these meds I have taken for years and also put my CPAP machine in the closet!

Way to go on the walking! !

I had surgery on 5/5. I can't get my Water or Protein in. I'm nauseous on and off. I have sharp pains on and off. All I wanna do is cry and give up. Called the dr.'s office, wasn't much help. All the did was tell me to space out my pills -which I have been and take an extra Prilosec. If it get worse go to er. Ahhh I am just over this.

Every doctor is different but mine told me not to count anything except Water. 64 oz a day, a sip at a time...no gulping. I could drink the Protein drink or I didn't have to. I drink Powerade Zero, Crystal Light, V-8 juice. I have creamed Soups diluted with skim milk, pureed and strained. NO chunks. I eat sf pudding and CarbMaster Yogurt (Kroger). This is my diet from May 12 until June 9.

I take 8 pills a day for numerous problems. I have to crush the pills and I have to take them 10 minutes apart. It is frustrating but I do it.

Make sure you are walking at least 30 minutes a day....it doesn't have to be all at once. 5 minutes here, 10,minutes there. Build yourself you...so a bit farther and walk longer every day. I use the Free app MOVE on my Iphone and it has been a great help

I was advised that GasX strips were good for stomach upset. I am have been so blessed....I haven't had that problem.

I hope this has been some help. I am by no means and expert or a doctor...

I'm sorry to hear that. Have you checked with your doctor regarding the pain and nausea? Everyone has different recovery unfortunately. Keep reminding yourself that things will eventually get much better. Take it easy

      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.
