Surgery Date....October 8th



Recommended Posts

I'm not hungry at all... just emotionally hungry, getting a divorce too, since hubby wasn't supportive and chose to party while I was in the hospital so I think it's causing a lot of my pain and emotional buttons saying to eat

Im sorry men can be so dumb. When you have your new body he will only get to look & wish he supported you. My husband has been with me every step. The good thing about this surgery is you cant eat or it will make you very sick. I have realized since the surgery on how much my life revolved around food. We all have these food eating emotions & hope some day these emotions will pass or improve. The pain is really there I tried to come off them to early because they made me sleepy big mistake. You need to stay on top of it. If the pain catches up its so much harder to get under control. Do you have anyone at home to help you?

I have my 14 year old daughter who helps me. Got some go workers trying to find a room for me and my daughter to rent so I can be away from the emotional abuse.

I'm thankful for a co-worker who went thru the surgery last year, she's taking me to a pre op panel, she thinks it will helps speaking to people planning on getting the surgery.

Thats good I am glad you have support. One thing I learned a long time ago is love doesnt hurt. I bet you will do better away from all the abuse. Plus you can show your daughter what not to put up with. I wish there was more I could do to help.

Sorry to hear that but there are a lot of folks who will listen and talk to you on here. I have a good support group at home and on here.

Keep sipping flavored Water as it helps.

I have work next Friday but I think I am going to postpone it another week to make sure I am okay

Had mine October 6th too. So far, so good. Following everything the doctor said and trying to get all my Vitamins down.

Do you have chewables? They go down well.

Congrats on your surgery

I do. But the chalky taste is killing me.

Have you taken it with crystal light as that helps a lot

So happy everyone is recovering well. I've been able to hold down whatever I eat with no problems. Dream of crunch , even a salad: ) I've been doing cream of chicken Soup made with skim milk and drained, Tomato Soup. V8 juice, sugar free pudding thinned with milk, cream of wheat thinned a lot with cinnamon and sugar free maple Syrup, Protein Shakes. Taking Vitamins well.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
