Any October 2016 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Had my pre admission testing today, almost there - sleeve surgery on 10/12 [emoji38] I'm nervous but I had emergency gallbladder surgery and ended up almost a week in the hospital this past weekend, I kind of thought of it as a warm up practice run lol. I'm hoping the dr can use the same incisions since I'll still have the steri-strips on!!

I went in to have my surgery and was prep and waiting and the hospital had an emergency and they had to reschedule my surgery appointment to Monday October 10th. At first I was disappointed and then I hoped the person that needed emergency surgery survived because I can wait 4 more days for my new life to begin. I also learned so much during the time I waited. Every situation is a learning experience if you let !

Going home from hospital today. Feeling weak but know that's normal. Can't wait to get on the scale. Hope everyone is doing great!

You probably gained weight in the hospital from all the fluids, swelling, gas, etc. so don't be disappointed in what the scale says. It's best to stay off of it for a few weeks.

Oh I had gained a few from the surgery as well and as luck would have it, 2 days after surgery, my period started, do that added to the bloating and weight gain. Week later and I am heading down.

I'm doing well. Came home yesterday morning. I've been doing a lot of walking around the neighborhood (even went to Target yesterday afternoon!) and staying hydrated. Getting in some Protein (sipping bone broth) but mainly focusing on hydration. Tomorrow (3rd day post-op) is when my team wants me to start focusing on Protein - I'll be moving from Clear Liquids to full liquids then). I hope that everyone is doing well!!

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
