Figured I'd say hi.



Recommended Posts

Hey guys I've been reading the forums for a while. Lots of good info and help. I spent the last decade going back and forth about having the surgery. Finally was sleeved on 10/8 everything has gone surprising well. Nothing more than I guess the normal pain you'd have from getting sliced open in 6 places. Like I said thought I'd finally say hi after reading for so long.

@@proudgrammy - It always cracks me up with a woman who chooses the moniker Proudgrammy to welcome a guy with a "hey dude" ;-) Please don't stop, but it makes me smile every time you do it.

@@DistillerDave - welcome to the losers bench, can't wait to hear about your progress. You join a long line of lurkers who thoughtfully looked at this before doing it, and IMHO that is the right thing to do.

Hi Dave. I am new here to and have been doing a lot of reading in silence. I was suppose to be sleeved in 10/15/15 but came down with the head cold from hell. I am now set for 10/29/15 providing the cold cooperates. I am nervous as hell and have so many unanswered questions and what if's that I am driving myself crazy. Glad to hear you are doing well. And thank you everyone for the insight, hope, and answers that you have, and continue to give me from reading.

Thanks everyone, I tend to not be real chatty. Everything is going pretty good. I am however looking really forward to being able to get some texture in the food I can eat. I'm not hungry but damn i want to chew something so sick of liquid / full liquid stuff. I do get to try some scrambled eggs and maybe some oatmeal tomorrow per my doctors timeframe for the post diet so i'm looking forward to that. I haven't had any problem getting anything down so far and keep my Protein at 100 to 120 a day. Overall its not been bad at all and i'm down to 314 from 335 day of surgery on the 8th.

G'day @@DistillerDave

As I'm sure you're aware, the Water and the Protein are the big ones, so well done on those...

If you can keep them up then the rest should all fall into place.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
