October List of Surgery's



Recommended Posts

@@aranushka My surgery is the 26th. I understand what you mean about owing it to your kids. I'm 55 and have a 12-year-old. I lost 70 pounds the old-fashioned way when he was 2, but haven't been able to continue nor keep it all off, so I'm having RNYGP.

I'm not thinking about it more than I must. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. :)

Good luck to you!

I was supposed to have my surgery mid November but the office called me Friday and said they had October 27th available since I had completed all of my pre-op requirements so they kinda caught me a little of guard I'm really excited as I have been working toward this for a little over 6 months now (I even lost 49 pounds following the NUT advice) but I am also really nervous ????

@@kvoneye I had to take magnesium citrate to clean out my colon. You will only be on Clear Liquids that day the day before surgery. My hospital recommended Propel zero or Powerade zero to drink all day because of the loss of electrolytes during this process. Just be careful not to wipe too hard after you go to the bathroom or you will become sore from wiping so much that 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? 🤷‍♀️
