30 days out- the good and bad



Recommended Posts

Today marks 30 days post up. Here are some of my observations

GOOD- lost 33 pounds since the surgery. I did not have a pre op diet. Recovery went great. I've been eating solid food since day 13. I am eating 3-4 oz of Protein per meal, fish is easiest, chicken takes a while to eat. Never had nausea, no vomiting. A lot of energy when I wake up in the morning. I get 70-80 oz of Water a day. Got clearance this week for light weight lifting, and anything cardio, including playing basketball( no swimming yet). Fat clothes are way too big now, I've moved on to the skinnier clothes I bought last year when I thought I was going to lose the weight. Surgeon said I don't have to see him for 2 months.

Bad- Vitamins have been tough. If there is an awesome tasting multi, please share with me. Mine are just awful. I'm getting better though at taking them. 2 of my incisions are giving me a hard time. Got a bit swollen and slightly infected. A little drainage. Better this week though. I have to learn how to chew my food better. I sometimes forget that I can't take massive bites and I payed for it with immediate pain. I have also forgotten not to drink with eating. Big mistake because you get filled up with one bite.

My doctor has me on the Patch MD Multivitamin patch so taste is not an issue.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
