April 1st Sleevers! Tomorrow is our Day!



Recommended Posts

Hello All, this will be brief. I'm scheduled for surgery 1 April as well. I'm not too nervous but I've had a bad headache for the past 2 days. I guess tension. The worst part is I can't take any meds for it. So right now I'm just ready for surgery and meds to help this pain go away. I hope to chat with you all after surgery. Best of luck to you all.

Had mine done today and my only complaint was the gas trapped in my chest. It HURT so bad, but finally it went away. Now my abs just feel like they ate sore from sit-ups. I hope it that's the most of my discomfort. I'm wishing everyone the best.

I have that picture of Never Give up at work. I love it. I'm happy you didn't have any gas. Mine has returned and I had to ask for my Gasx. Ooh well, at least it will go away soon.

So far my hospital staff has been the greatest. they gave me broth and Jello yesterday but I had no desire to eat. I finally ate some of my Jello this morning after my walk. I don't know if other facilities make you walk, but mine does. Nothing fast or long. Just whatever you can handle.

Sounds like everyone did pretty well overall through surgery. Great news!

I had some major nausea issues. Poor nurses were trying everything. Thank goodness it finally subsided. Just got home today and trying to keep the fluids going...sip..sip..sip

Keep up the good work everyone. Our path to a whole new future awaits

Lemme see... I was fine until the were about to roll me away and then I burst in to tears out of nowhere! They gave me some Valium in my IV and then I was fine! Went to the OR went to sleep and woke up done! The only annoying this is the gas pain. But if you get the gas x strips and walk you will be a okay! I did not get anything last night because I had to do the "leak" test this morning! I did just have a sip of broth and a lemon Italian icee and I am so full! Good luck to you dear you will do great!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
