Surgery on 16 February 2015 - getting scared



Recommended Posts

@ Love the sleeps count!! 4 more!! We are almost there! Sorry you are having a rough time. Wish I had some wonderful wise words, but I can only tell you to hang in there. Here you are wanting to toss your veggies and I would LOVE to have some! :) I have a decent variety of high Protein bariatric food products available to me as long Im within the 800 - 900 cal range and get a minimum of 65g of Protein, but I am not allowed to add any veggies or other foods at all. :( I would kill for a steamed anything at this point!! lol We can do this! I will be praying for you!

@Doll64 I had a couple rough days with the pre op diet, I guess my only stress was being worried that I wouldn't be able to follow such a strict diet. As far as being nervous about the procedure and if Ive, made the right choice, Im, not stressed or nervous at all! I know I have made the right decision. Ive been praying and researching myself silly over the last year and am perfectly confident in my choice. Im not afraid of the actual surgery at all. I work in the hospital where I am having the procedure and its wonderful to be in the hands of people I personally know. I am blessed. I have had several other surgeries so there won't be many surprises for me!

If there's something wrong with you then Im right there with you!!

Well.....thought I would update everyone....my husband got his sleeve yesterday! He is doing much better today! He was pretty snowed most of the day after surgery as he got had to have IV dilaudid a few times while his morphine pca kicked in! He has had no nausea issues, said the leak test wasn't bad. He is very sore but doing well. Will probably go home tomorrow. He appreciated the gas-x strips, however getting up to walk seemed to get better results (burped all down the halls...lol). I started my preop diet yesterday....so far ok....13 days to go!

Mine is the MONDAY Feb 16th also. I'm nervous and scared as well. My mom just gave me a box of sees candy for valentines. I was like thanks but no thanks. I guess I well regift it. She just forgot I guess. That is awesome you have mentors at work people you know. I don't know anyone who has had WLS.

I have been tracking on my food on Myfitnespal and I have a Garmin fitness band with heart monitor I have been using daily that connects to Myfitnespal. I have been using for about 7 months. I love it and it is easy for me. Good luck to us on this new beginning.

      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.
