Getting Ready



Recommended Posts

well I did it. The dr got in and said that he had to do the sleeve due to my intestines being short to reach. Still kind of loopy but getting stronger staying hydrated is a chore and sore but other than that all seems well. Thanks for the encouragement!

I go in Oct 7, for my surgery. Getting the Gastric by pass. Started this ride in Jan and now finally the procedure. I have been experiencing a little anxiety as I get closer to the day but this is what I've been waiting for.

Outstanding !!!!!!!

I hope all is well, boss.

My surgeon advised me of the same probability.......sleeve would be what he'd most likely have to go to after encountering shorter plumbing that would make a sleeve dangerous. I decided beforehand to target for a sleeve from the start.

I'm excited.

I hope you are adjusting to things and getting your nourishment.

Well I'm almost 5 days out and doing great only spent one night in the Hospital, they said I was doing everything right so they let me go home! The first day after I had absolutely no pain. The second day I started experiencing soreness at the incisions I took the pain med twice then I tried Tylenol two times and I am taking nothing now. Weighed this morning and down 10lbs since surgery and when I'm up and around feeling good. The hardest problem I've had is staying up with is the hydration, sometimes it takes me into the evening to get but I will not fail on that item. It seems that smell and tastes are really strong and I have lots of gas moving around in my belly and chest but I seem to deal with that by moving around and walking. So far I've been pulled off my sugar meds and testing to see if I need to take them the same with my blood pressure meds my post op is on Thursday and I will know more.

Dub Tall guys with long torso are the one's with shorter intestines .......LOL

      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? 🤷‍♀️
