Opinions on moving please



Recommended Posts

Hello! My sleeve surgery is scheduled 1/11/17. I am scheduling when to close on my existing home and move into our new home. I'm a single Mom of a 12 year old which leaves more of the responsibility to me. I'll hire movers and will have the help of friends and family, but will still need to unpack. Realistically when will I feel up to this? I'd like to move mid March, 9 weeks after surgery. Thoughts?

I am right at 9 weeks and I feel great. I was lucky and had no problems with the surgery and have been really strict with myself about following the rules. But I am fully back to normal. Walking 2 miles a day, eating 3 meals of totally Protein and a shake to supplement. Energy level is much better than before surgery. The first few weeks are a challenge, but in my case, it got better every day. My only challenge now is getting the Water in. I think if all goes well with your surgery, the move shouldn't be a problem. Good luck.

That shouldn't be a problem for March. You could even do it sooner if you wanted. I began a kitchen remodel on day 4 after surgery. I didn't do the work, but juggled many workers in and out of my small place all day long. They were done after 2 weeks and I was fine to get kitchen set up again. Just carried a few items at a time from what I had to pack away. No lifting heavy boxes.

I felt well enough to unpack about 3 days after surgery. For awhile I began to wonder if I even had it.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
