Checking in to see how all the members of the 20th Club are doing!

We should come up with a name for all of us. lol

I hope everyone is healing well and getting their walks and fluids in!

Remember, you're recovering, so don't push yourself too hard.

I finally get to go home tomorrow! I am so blessed I made it through the surgery, and all the trials and tribulations. Just about everything that could go wrong, did, but I'm feeling lots better now.

Carol, so sorry you had a rough time. At least you are in the right place to control your pain. Make sure they allow for Probiotics after you finish your antibiotics. Best of luck and keep in touch. I was there for 11 days.... It sucked but I thought of it as a vacation from my four kids and husband. By the time I went home I really missed them and they missed me!!!

@@Heavy to Healthy Thank you so much for writing and letting me know I wasn't alone on this journey. I am still not quite out of the woods, still have this infection, but am on antibiotics, wound is packed, that comes out in the AM, and we wait to see if it will close on it's own.

I know much of my nausea is being brought on by the antibiotics and still, so many pills I have to take. I just want a little relief...so I can get my nourishment in. I'm getting my Water in ok

But the antibiotic gave me nausea and diarrhea, and I'm not sure why but the hospital didn't give me my Zyrtec for a week, so I get out into the world today and it's full of pollen and I'm choking every time I lay down. Blowing my nose, miserable.... I feel like a big old mess. LOL

I could use some prayers and good thoughts. SO I thank all of you have been so kind, and sweet, and positive. It's made a difference.

I just keep praying to wake up for another day.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
