Finally got the ball rolling!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

So on Wednesday night i went to the WLS info session after researching and contemplating and being discouraged by 2 PCPs. I got all my paperwork in on the same night and now I have to wait to be called about setting up my 3 appointment. I am SO excited, after 20ish years of every diet, excersize plan and fad I will finally (hopefully) see some real results.

Looking forward to being nosey and hearing all about everyone's journey :)

It's exciting to get started! I go for my testing Monday. Ugh. Labs and all that fun stuff!

Yeah it is very exciting! I went for my initial appointment last Thursday and now I'm waiting for my sleep apnea test to come, started my exercise routine and started watching what I've been eating. Exciting times ahead!

I'm really not looking forward to needles. Lol!! The idea of surgery doesn't scare me too much but blood draws and IVs are my least favorite thing haha

Yeah I am not a fan of that stuff, but it's necessary. I have upper gi, chest X-ray, and abdominal ultrasound. Plus labs. Nothing else was required. I also see a cardiologist before surgery will be scheduled. Hope it all goes smoothly!

Grrrr so the coordinator called me today and I was so excited, thought it was to start scheduling the 3 appointments they require but no, to tell me that they can't do that until my PCP faxes my info over... which they said they did.... and they didnt. Grrr. I'm impatient anyway but this just pisses me off. :/

      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? 🤷‍♀️
