Recommended Posts

My surgery for the gastric sleeve is this coming Monday. As most people I'm a little nervous. I was just wondering if anyone has any tips and tricks they can give me so that my first week after surgery is a little easier! Thank you in advance

Just know and accept that the first 12 hours or so following your surgery are going to suck! But once that anesthesia wears off you will feel 95% normal again! I'm 3 days post op and have already lost 6 lbs this week.

Walk as much as you can and sip sip sip! Each day is getting better and better for me.

Take your pain meds as prescribed - don't let the pain get bad or it will be hard for meds to catch up. Walk as soon and as often as you can. Your body needs rest and don't think you feel well enough to do housework or yard work - you might feel fine but your body had traumatic surgery and needs you to take care of yourself. Find out exact post-op diet instructions and stick with them. Good luck to all!

On Tuesday I will be on my clear liquid diet in preparation for surgery on Wednesday. A nurse at the hospital told me to drink lots of fluids on Tuesday including Power Aid zero to get my electrolytes up. Of course I can't drink past midnight but before that I will drink lots of low cal clear fluids.

Good luck to us all.

How is everyone doing? I'm 3 days out and so frustrated at the gas pains! I knew to expect them but I didn't realize how much they would hurt.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
