First Day (BaratricPal)



Recommended Posts

My name is Monie! My surgery date is April 14th, I'm excited and nervous all in one.. But I am believing in the man upstairs to see me through... Today is day 8 of my pre-op "shake down".. Hasn't been that bad. I use Bariatric fusion strawberry shortcake it's very tasty.. 2 shakes a day and lean meat with veggies for dinner.. Starting on the 9th I will only intake the shakes maybe 5 a day. I am so ready for the change. I live in Sunrise Florida and Dr. Fernando Bayron is my surgeon......

OMG Monie45. I'm April and I live in Sunrise, FL as well. I'm off to MX next week to have surgery. We should definitely stay in touch. I'm on day 4 of my preop and so far so good. I'm a little tired of the shakes but I'm sticking with it. I was beginning to think I was the only one in Sunrise going through this. I'm so glad you posted.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
