Any August 2017 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 days post-op and feeling pretty good. My surgeon prescribed blood thinners for a week. I'm not a fan because it is an injection. Thankfully my husband is less squeamish than me.

My insurance wouldn't cover the original scrip so I will be doing injections as well. Don't think I can do them on myself so my hubby will have the honor. Will be going to bed early tonight and hopefully be able to sleep, check in is at 10am and its an hour drive to the hospital. So happy that its finally happening. Good luck to all who are next in line!

I've been giving myself injections two to four times a day for years as a diabetic, so the prospect of injecting the blood thinners doesn't bother me in the least. For anyone out there who is faced with that, please don't be concerned--it's not difficult and it's not painful. Have a tissue or cotton ball handy in case there's a tiny drop of blood.

I had mine one week ago 8/7/2017. I'm feeling pretty good. Gas pain is finally gone and not feeling hungry at all. Making myself drink 3 premier Protein drinks a day along with my 64oz of Water. It takes all day but I'm doing it[emoji16]

Awesome! Mine was on the 10th, and today I feel pretty good. Gas is finally gone, and I can drink easier. I'm also not hungry, but I'm making sure I get in some Soup and Premier Protein.

I am 1 week post-op today. Gas pains are gone. I didn't need any blood thinners. Dealing with Constipation after 3 week liquid diet. Can't wait til I can have puréed foods next week. My first meal will probably be puréed peas mixed with puréed tuna or salmon. Good luck in surgery!

Hey everyone, I'm a single 34 yr old and my surgery for the sleeve has been scheduled for Aug 22nd. I've been really focused up till now, Lost 20 lbs originally with really regular gym going and fairly decent eating. I went on vacation and gained 5 back :/ so working at getting back in the swing of things.

I'm starting to get nervous. I have a long family history of people having gastric bypass so once the dr said i needed it I just went ok let's get it done. Now that it's booked I'm more apprehensive but I know this is for the best.

I am right in front of you on the 21st. This final week is a killer. What a roller coaster of emotions!

      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.
