I'm not getting sleeved anymore I had to change things around because lately I've been having a little acid reflux and the doc said the leave would make it worse. I'm nervous cuz I really wanted the sleeve and my surgery is right around the corner August 18th

I have to get the bypass :/

Ok y'all. I'm about to cry. I have standard Wednesday night dinner plans with friends. They don't know what my surgery next week is. We discussed salmon, veggies, no carbs this week and berries for dessert. Instead we have potato/cauliflower pancakes and granita for dessert. I haven't eaten much today knowing to save most of my calories. I wish I wasn't so hungry! I guess I'm going to have to tell them sooner rather than later....

Ok day 3 update!

Gas has significantly gone done. Incision points are still extremely sore but all together not that bad. Should have been released today but I had an erratic heartbeat last night so I have to stay overnight.

Keep faith it's not that bad. The liquid diet leading up to operation is great makes you crave less when you're sipping tiny amounts of fluids out of medicine cups. Haha good luck everyone!

1 week post-op and feeling really good. For those just a day or two out, it does get better. Hang in there!

And I lost 12 lbs since surgery so I am very happy!

Have to do full liquids for another week then move to puréed. Never thought I'd be excited about puréed food but I so am!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
