I have started my venture on the losers bench.

Check in was 7:30 am and surgery was scheduled for 9:30. It got pushed a few hours.

I got to recovery around 4:30 ......... I did have pain about a 7 out of 10 but the nausea was at like a 20 it was terrible. The nurses took such good care of me they kept giving me different nausea drugs untill we got it all sorted out

If you bring 1 thing other than your person it should be BIOTENE MOUTH SPRAY. It wets your mouth and gets all the funky tastes out etc. I can not urge you more the get the $6 spray

My lower back is what hurt me the most when I got into my room. Other than that things have been bearable. The nurse let me Stand in the room to stretch my back and so I could go pee. When I got comfortable they gave me some pain and nausea meds and it knocked me out till about 7.

I got up and did about 6 laps around the unit. The nurses were so encouraging telling how much better I looked etc

Surgery weight 224.2

Height 5'2

Wow, you are already on your phone after surgery. Good for you!

The nausea sucks. I did everything I could, had them give me meds, tried to gag with my toothbrush, tried to throw up, etc., to get the feeling off my chest.

Sounds like you are doing great. I did not have anything to drink from 8PM on 10/6 to 8AM on 10/8 and it was SO HARD. No ice, no Water, nothing. I thought I was gonna die, but I survived like you!

Keep up the good work.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
