Sept 18..Band to Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Things are much better than yesterday. I was so constipated. Not to be graphic, but it felt like someone had their whole fist up my butt. I called the nurse and begged to drink some citrus magnesium. The nurse encouraged me to try milk of magnesium first. I tried, and the suffering continued the whole day. I girlllll when I drank half that bottle, life began in about 40 mins. Lol! Today I had some minor stomach pain in the morning, and I took some Ibuprofen. I was good all day. I think I am completely off the sizzuyrup. That stuff was just too much for me. Every time I poured my shot I would think about Little Wayne. Lol! How are you feeling?

Girl let me tell ya, I am beginning to feel the same way LOL, I had to ask what to take for Constipation and they told me to use senokot. My Dr told me I had to much tissue damage so I am still on liquids, except I am on thick liquids, like Protein shakes and cream Soups. I can't start the semi solids until next week. I am with you, girl I couldn't take it anymore either so I was with you and Lil Wayne LOL....Today is a much better day, I feel little to no pain, and beginning to feel like me again, especially after losing 10lbs girl I couldn't believe it....I am loving it and it shows in my clothing, girl I had to pull out an old bra from when I was a few pounds lighter :)

Oh that's wonderful! I have also lost 10 pounds. I know that things will continue to look up for us. I hope your stomach gets some relief. That Constipation is no joke. See if you can drink some citrus magnesium. You know that will work. Just just need some help with the unclog and you can go from there.

      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.
