Just checking in sleeve was Friday 8/5. The night in the hospital was horrific. I came home Saturday afternoon and my husband has been a great nurse. He goes back to work today and it will be me and our two greyhounds.

I have been adding gene pro to Soup and yogurt to get more Protein in.

Today's goal is more Water.

I'm so sorry you had such a rough night in the hospital! Sounds like things are looking up now. Did you experience a lot of pain? Hope you're feeling even better soon!

Had my surgery on the 4th. So I've been home a few days now. I dont have any excruciating pain, but I notice as the day starts to end my tummy hurts more. These few days have been trial runs. The first two days home, I kept falling asleep before I'd finish a shake. Lol. I think my gas pains are subsiding, thank the lord! But I've now started to have back pain, especially when I get out the bed. I've been pretty lucky, no adjustments have needed to be made for sleeping. In the hospital I laid on my side the whole time, the sitting up was the most uncomfortable for me.

I tell yall, the head hunger is real. Most people say they dont get it, Im here to play the offense. I see commercials or watch cooking shows and Im like dang I could eat that. Lol. Even tho I really couldn't. Every sip of a shake is a chore, every spoonful of broth is a chore. I dont in actuality want to eat anything bad, but Im craving real food something awful. I mean food I wasnt even eating prior to surgery. Daily I dream of cauliflower mash. Lol

My struggle is so very real, but at least its just one day at a time.

Good luck to you all

It's never too late, until its too late

      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.

      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!!
