Where are the November Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I was becoming very nervous about this whole thing, I have insurance approval and will get my date at my pre-op visit this Friday. Anyway . . . the nerves were gaining on me until I was in Stage the other day and I started looking at all the cute clothes. Normally, I would feel sad because I can't fit in them. Instead the nerves backed off and I was really happy browsing through these clothes that I will be able to wear soon enough!!!

OMG...I thought I was the only one bagging up old clothes. I started sorting clothes and getting rid of the big stuff I really don't like. My Support Group, recommended by my doctor has a clothes exchange for every stage. I am funny about buying my own stuff but can't wait to start donating. You should see if your Support Group has something like that, so you can donate to others going through this process.

This liquid diet is no joke...it is hard. I've got a lot of willpower though and I know I can

do it. It is just hard.

I'm also weening off of caffeine for the next 2 weeks...now that's no joke!

Well tomorrow I start my FOUR week liquid diet consisting of boost diabetic and good old fashioned Water.

It's going to be a tough 4 weeks, but I have been waiting over 2 years for this! I am excited and scared. It's finally happening and I want it all to turn out and be as stress free as possible.

Do you guys have good support at home?

Sheena :-)

      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.
