Surgery on Monday 02/02/15!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone. I'm brand spanking new to this forum. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on monday the 2nd of February. I'm so excited! I got approval on a Monday and was scheduled just one week later. I wasn't expecting it to come so fast but they had a cancellation so I took it. I'm on my pre op diet, 4 days in and it's horrible! I'm really not hungry but my brain isn't doing well lol. I'm in a brain fog and this fatigue is awful. I can't hardly type but my brain won't let me sleep.

I've been working towards this surgery for 13 months now, finally!! I'm so close. I've been struggling with my weight since I had my first son. Since he was born I stayed big and can't seem to lose more than 20 lbs. I'm 5'2, 254 pounds as of Thursday. My goal ultimate goal is 140 but I'll be super happy if I can get back to 160. Hopefully I'm posting this in the right group or forum or whatever it's called. I think I can sleep better knowing I can look to this app for advice and support. :))

I'm so happy for you the journey is different for everybody in my case I was sleeved to just recently on 1/23/15 and after surgery the worst for me was the gas pain omg it was horrible but I'm a week and 2 days out and I'm soooo much better I went to the doctors Friday and I had lost 17 pounds I was so glad I'm 5" 5 and pre surgery I was 286 now I'm 269 its not much but I can't wait for this weight to keep dropping very much luck to you and your journey I wish you well

Great to hear. We can do this together. I am feeling okay, not the greatest but that can be expected after surgery. My biggest problem is the gas pain in my stomach. Other than that everything is good

      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? 🤷‍♀️
