I made it out alive. I had a massage Monday before my 11:30a check in at the hospital. My surgery was scheduled for 1:30p, but wasn't rolled into surgery until 4:30. At this point I was a grumpy bitch.

Woke up pretty rough in recovery. I was extremely nauseous and vomiting for the better part of the night until 4am. We figured it was because my doc forgot to change my pain meds from Delodid (sp?) to Morphine. Once I was put on morphine, it was the difference between night and day. I feel 110% better. I've been able to keep fluids down. I'm loving the diet cranberry juice - it goes down the ease and super yummy!

Anticipating to be discharged tomorrow. My surgeon was very impressed with the shrinkage of my liver and stomach. In fact it was the smallest liver and stomach he has seen in 17 years of bariatric surgery. I was pretty stoked to hear that ????????????????

Here are my battle wounds. Five, small 1"ish incisions. The purple is his measurements. post-255591-14447920967805_thumb.jpg post-255591-14447921053921_thumb.jpg

Usually in my experience, it's the morphine that causes more nausea vomiting, I was switched because of nausea and vomiting to the dilaudid. How about those gas bubbles don't like those one but are you having a hard time with those at all?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
