Surgery TOMORROW!



Recommended Posts

Ugh, I'm so nervous and yet so excited! I am just afraid of all the potential "issues" - complications, food/water not sitting well/coming up, the pain etc... And sometimes I freak out that this will be no different than when I lost 50 pounds (I need to lose about 120) on my own, and stalled out. So worried, so scared, and at the same time SO HOPING for a quick recovery and major success!

Well, wish me luck!!

Best wishes on this journey!!! You will be fine...just relax, follow the guidelines and you'll be seeing pounds and inches coming off...and you will feel so good, physically and emotionally.

The first couple of weeks are hardest, then a few months of full healing, then you should steadily lose, for as long as you need to reach your goal weight(s).

Recommend setting small goals....set yourself up for success from the beginning!!!

Keep us posted on your progress!!

You're going to do fine. Worrying won't do any good, being positive is key. Stay on program with your food, keep drinking your fluids and walking and the weight will do what it's supposed to do - go away. Best wishes - see you on the losers bench.

Had surgery 7/21. Yesterday was HORRIBLE. Sore, very bloated and gassy, walked a lot but couldn't get rid of the gas.

Tried yesterday to move to Clear Liquids, was so nauseous I almost threw up. Needed nausea meds, went back to just ice chips.

Finally feel better today, but doc wants to keep me another night because of all of yesterday's issues. I was so looking forward to going home and being able to sleep. You simply cannot rest at the hospital.

Still pretty tender, but coming along. Finally am tolerating liquids/broth.

Just ready to get out of here.

      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.
