???? Calling all March Sleevers....let's support each other!????



Recommended Posts

Hello, I'm new to the forum and am having my surgery on March 9th in Texas.

I'm both very excited and nervous about all the changes to come.

I saw someone mention their head hurting while starting the pre-op diet. Is this normal? My head has been hurting as well, but I'm a little sick so I assumed it was because of that. I know I'm hydrated enough, I'm drinking Water non-stop essentially.

Glad im not the only one. I'm very well hydrated but this headache has me balled up on the couch. No lights, no tv, no reading. Just in to much pain. I do have chronic headaches but this one is different. Constant sharp stabbing kill me now pain.

I'm am scheduled for March 16th, 4 days after my 31st birthday. I have emotional a ranging from excited to nervous to scared to happy... ???????????????????????? I am having my done in Tijuana. A little nervous about that but not really because I know 2 people that have gone to the same surgeon, no complications and positive results. Hoping for the same outcome.

Apparently, the headaches are completely normal... from our bodies withdrawing from food. (At least, thats how the surgeon's asst explained it when i mentined my headaches at my pre-op appt.)

Today was the first day of my pre-op diet and my head is killing me- I hope it only lasts 3 days, this is the worst!

I am starting day 3 of the liquid diet and both yesterday and today I have woke up at 3 am with horrible headaches. I do suffer Migraines but as someone else said, these are different. To this point I haven't really been hungry, just tired early in the evening. I hope the headaches go away and the Vitamins kick in so I won't crash so early. Just ready to have Monday here and over.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
