Surgery is Today! (Aug 25th)



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled for 8am. I need to arrive at the hospital by 7. im too anxious/nervous to sleep any longer. i keep having very odd dreams about the surgery, like deciding to go out to Breakfast before the surgery or sleeping too late and missing it. I have so many emotions coming up. im happpy and yet i feel alittle sad. maybe thats the am i making the right decision feeling. I know am, i kno all the pain i go through will be worth it even if it doesnt feel like it later today lol. if i can i will check in later today, and let you know how everything went!

Good luck to everyone getting sleeved today, Here's to us!!!

Some of the best advice I was given was "you will likely question why you did this for the first 4 months. Then you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner after 4 months." I am not even 3 months and I wish I had done this sooner!! Hope everything goes great today...and just remember that yes- you do start feeling "normal" again at some point.

Good luck for your surgery. Take it easy and slow after surgery--give your body time to heal but walk as much as you can. When you are cleared to be able to drink--sip, sip, sip. Getting that hydration in is key. Your body needs that Fluid to heal. When you go home, continue to walk as much as possible and sip, sip, sip.

Blessings,

Kathleen

      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? 🤷‍♀️
