Any March 2018 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Just got discharged - sore, but not impossible and don't need anything but Tylenol. Very VERY sleepy; load a hydration app on your phone before you go in, if you can, I had a hard time keeping track when writing or typing. I'm using WaterMinder and pre-set a 1oz measure so I could just turn on the app and tap each time I drank. My stomach aches, but it's not sharp pains. Incisions are a bit sharper. For whatever reason I progressed really fast and was fit for discharge about 18 hours after surgery. I'm now home sipping a Protein Shake and getting ready to nap again.

Remember that anything you bring into the hospital, you'll have to sign an "I won't sue if this gets stolen" waiver.

Do like the late Jerry Reed did with Amos Moses in his song, turn him into Gator Bait! F**k him or better yet don't F**k him, see how he feels about that! He needs to get on Team Florida Gal and now. Don't let him run rough-shod over you like I did my late husband. Nobody loves a soggy old doormat. Mine professed his love but I don't think he respected me. Learn from a sadder and later-wise person.

Oh my gosh, I am DYING!!! And not really losing the weight that I should be for being on liquids only and starving. I just got other Protein Shakes and unflavored Protein to add to stuff, but in all honesty I want hot wings!

I received great news today. Since I started my Aetna PPO insurance required pre-surgical diet with the nutritionist in November, I have lowered my cholesterol from 206 to 165! The doctor told me my numbers were "excellent". Small wins sure help you feel better about the pre- process. Happy me!

Tomorrow is the day! Just want to say thank you to everyone who has been so diligent about sharing your experiences on here. It’s definitely been helpful. I will try to do the same. For now, I’m hoping and expecting the best for tomorrow and most certainly looking forward to my new life! [emoji120][emoji16][emoji173]️[emoji254][emoji445][emoji295]️

      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? 🤷‍♀️
