Killian's Gastric Sleeve Journey



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow Navy Vet and fellow October Sleever! We can do this! E can win this battle. I too recieved 2 boxes from Bariatric Pal Store today! Got some liquid diet stuff for when I get home from the hospital.
Onto Battle shipmate!

@killian I just got the stretchy "sippy cup lids" from Amazon today. My surgery is Saturday and I pick up my passport Friday! Just in time. Sh*t just got real! On the bright side I have dropped 13 lbs in 5 days from my pre op diet I was SHOCKED. The only reason I weighed myself was to put it on here. Im not a big believer in scales. I also quit smoking . Basically I now look like an anxiety ridden chubby lady whose pants are now too big Hope you are well shipmate. Catch me up on your journey. Have a fine, fine Navy day!

Nice! I just recieved te Miracle 360 sippy cup. It is a toddler cup that only allows small sips. Should come in handy. Good luck to us!

Woke up in bearable pain. Feels like I overdid it on sit ups..and that is not bad. Not having any trouble getting the Water down. (Sip sip sip!)
Just went for my first walk around the Bariatric Ward and so far so good. Staff here at Bon Secors in Port Jervis, NY is amazing. No wonder they won an award!

@Killian Yay! We did it! I made 6 laps 30 minutes ago, it was my 3rd time out. Surgery was at 7:30am and I was in my room at 10:46am. Slight pain, but doing great. Great nursing staff here too at Rockford Mercy. NPO until tomorrow after the barium swallow test.

      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.
