Just some of what was happening that caused me to breakdown. And I'm not usually an emotional person like this.

The nurses are nice. The staff just doesn't answer when u press the call button!
I actually fell asleep waiting for them. Was in so much pain started crying man. It was the worst. Imagine being alone sick and no one is coming to check on you. And u can't do nothing for yourself cause you can't move. [emoji24] At least if I can get home I know someone there cares about me. Shoo.

Today it took 20 mins and then they didn't come I yelled out in the hallway. Nurse apologized and said no one called her

Yeah so I'm not bothering with call button anymore. 5 mins later no one answered. So I walked over to station and there's like 5 people there! I just asked them to call my nurse and she came right away

Unfortunately I couldn't move so I had to rely on call button again

Ok enough sad stuff: hey this beef broth is good! After not eating for so long I'm loving this. Forcing myself to go real slow though. So far so good, no issues or noises. It just feels like regular to me. Don't notice difference in stomach yet.

And you still reckon your going straight back to work.its emotional




I do. I have great coworkers and a great boss. We're like family so although they don't know what surgery I had they do know I had surgery and will support me.

It's taking all my willpower not to grab this bowl of beef broth and gulp it down. It's sooo good. [emoji39]. But I know I have to do small sips. Then after I'll go for a walk before trying the rest of my liquid tray

I love your posts!!! Welcome to the club! You remind me so much of myself when I went to surgery! I'm 7 months out and I can tell, I have no regrets. If I had to go back in time, I would choose having the sleeve again in a heartbeat.

So I made it through the nasty Gelatin. Then a cup of crystal light. Just 1/2 cup Water more to go and I can be discharged. As long as I don't throw up.

So far I've drank 1 Protein Shake and about 20ounces of Water. Throat is killing me though. Struggle to swallow.

I had my first bm earlier today as well.

All in all the pain is much less than my previous c-section. In fact if my throats was good I'd be doing much better.

      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!!
