Looking forward to.....



Recommended Posts

I am really struggling with my pre op diet so decided I needed to think about some of the things I'm looking forward to as I loose the weight. Here's what I've got so far:

Not feeling like having a shower is a work-out, being able to easily tie my shoes, not hiding behind oversized clothing and not avoiding mirrors and reflective objects!

I'd love to hear what everyone else, particularly folks who are in the pre op diet stage, are looking forward to.

I'm 6 months post-op, but I still have things I am looking forward to. The main one right now is being able to ride all the roller coasters when I go on vacation at the end of this month. My family went to Dollywood last spring for vacation and I couldn't fit on most of the coasters and my husband didn't want to go on them alone, so he missed out on them. This year I will be able to fit in all the seats and I can't wait to ride them all and give my husband a chance to enjoy them as well!

Hi, I am new here, surgery date march 30th. I am nervous about a whole host of things. The pre-op is stressing me out and the first few days after the procedure. I know a lot of folks that got the sleeve some successful, some not so much. I can do this. I know I can, but I fear, I wont lose weight.

Man can I relate! We took our little girls to silver wood last summer and our 6 year old - who is very tiny- couldn't go on a ride cause I couldn't fit in it with her. We watched my hubby and our 7-year-old have a blast. Hubby took the little one on but I felt so humiliated! Can't wait to ride all the rides with them this summer!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
