Best of luck to you @insta_adventurer Don't let your nerves get the best of you. It will be the fine. There will be pain after so don't wait to ask for pain meds. I waited because I was sleeping/out of it after and then suddenly it hit me and I wanted to strangle the nurse for taking 1 minute and 30 seconds to get to me and get them into my IV. (Not sure how long it took, but I swear it was at least 10 minutes). Take your time there is no need to rush the walking. I waited until the day after surgery late in the day to walk the halls. I did walk from the bed to the rest room but that was hard enough the 1st few hours.




GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!


Thank you! My first words when I wake up will be, “‘more drugs, please!”

Hey ladies - I’ve been absent a few days and way behind. My dad’s health has deteriorated and he’s been put in hospice. Just spending all the time I can with him and supporting my mom.

I’ll try and check in as I can.

We will be thinking of you. My condolences to your family

Surgery is tomorrow 7-18 at noon. Trying to fall asleep. Excited. Pre-op diet went well except now I know what my emotional eating triggers are... Anger and Depression. I couldn't stuff my face to make those feelings go away. Learned a lot about myself this week.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
