July 4th weekend so hard



Recommended Posts

5 days post op and I have to say it was so hard to be around so much food and not being able to eat any. I wanted some food so bad but I put my big girl panties on and sucked it up.

Same here! I'm 4 days post op and this weekend has been torture. A lot of people say they don't feel hungry after the surgery so I wasn't anticipating it being this tough but I'm starving! Hoping next week will be a little easier.

I'm also 4 days post op and watching everyone around me just chowing down while I sip my broth. But hey, that's ok, it's my cross to bear so I'm toughing it out. I just keep telling myself that with each tummy pain that it's just more fat my body is getting rid of!

I have been ok for the most part. I'm 3 days post op. I have these off and on belly pains gas? Rumblings. that make it hard to want food. However being around all the food the ribs, the brown sugar baked Beans, the hot dogs the ice cold apple cider gives me a tiny pinch of sadness. But i know this time next year I will be quite fabulous so it's worth it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
