Impatiently waiting...June sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I can't believe that we have Surgery in two days!! It's so surreal...I'm excited but nervous...but the preop diet was fairly easy for me so I hope post op is too...

Well, friends, I originally posted here a while ago but then wound up not getting scheduled until the end of July.

The office calls me today to tell me there's a cancellation on June 26th, so I snatched it up and am now officially back to being a June sleever!

I have an appointment bright and early tomorrow to start right away on this pre-op diet! What a whirlwind!

I hope you're all doing well in the various stages of your journey!

Tomorrow is the big day for me. The nerves are definitely there. But glad the wait is almost over. I'm checking in at 9:30am. Oh my goodness. Is anyone else going in tomorrow?

I got my sleeve yesterday. Still in the hospital. Feel sore but not much pain. Walk walk walk walk. Rest rest rest. Popsicles and ice chips.

I had my sleeve yesterday the 16th. I am home now, but between the anti nausea and the pain medication the really has my vision blurry. The doctor said it should clear up when the scoplamin patch comes off in a day or so. I have typos please forgive me. Between the interaction of the two and the pain med just wearing me out, I probably won't be on much until this clears up. Best to all!

Welcome to the other side all June sleevers! I got my sleeve on June 8th and feel great. My biggest surprise is how much swelling and bloat I have around my upper abdomen. It really impacts the scale but drinking lots of liquids and getting my Protein in with no problem,

I was sleeved this morning. Still in the hospital. I am not in a lot of pain but I push the morphine button regularly. If all goes well I should be discharged tomorrow. Best of luck.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
