I am home and feeling ok



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved yesterday at 2pm. So far so good. I have some abdominal pain and nausea, but it is all manageable so far. I have been getting up to walk around every few hours. How are other August 25thers doing!

Home, feeling like a million bucks... But run out of energy very quickly. My shower today really did me in! I'm feeling great, though. The nausea and vomiting from day 1 are gone, am off all pain meds, drinking my tiny sips like I was told, and really happy to be doing so well. I was able to walk 1 mile (in small increments) the day after surgery so I'm sure that helped with the gas and other nasty side effects. I'm hoping all our 8/25 "sleeve twins" are doing as well as or better than me!

8/25 sleever here and I'm feeling decent. I've been walking a lot, but tend to get crabby at the end of the day. Glad you're doing well!

I had my surgery 8/27. The gas and nausea were the most painful so far. After I got meds for gas , I got the dry heaves- not fun. Since I have been home, I have not taken any meds. I don't feel too bad. Not having any problems walking or sleeping. Also I am afraid to swallow any meds - the thought of it makes me cringe. So far my doctor is only allowing Clear Liquids. So I will keep plugging away.

Hi everyone, so motivating.

I was sleeved on 26 August and remained an extra night in hospital due to fever. I am home now and I sleep a lot . Just sleeping around the clock, in between trying to stay hydrated!which has been a very slow process. I thank God because I met a lady one month post op whose stomach refused to work. Met her in hospital and left her there. God has been good to me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
