October 2018 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

How are our October 1 sleevers doing?
Tomorrow's folks - [mention=348955]bmatt418[/mention], [mention=332232]cindy t[/mention], [mention=349393]Deanayeah[/mention], [mention=348344]Lizzieming[/mention], [mention=349539]Marla522[/mention], [mention=347072]nikoleroze[/mention], [mention=347112]Oct517[/mention] - are you ready? Best of luck to you all! Check in when you can!
I'm one of the October 3 folks, and I won't do my post-surgery check-in before I get home on (here's hoping) the 4th--I use these forums through the browser, not the app. I also won't update the list of surgery buddies for a couple of days, so if someone else wants to, feel free? But I'll scroll back and add people, once I'm up to it, so no worries.
Here's the list as it stands now, so you can all find and befriend your surgery buddies!

I'm finding the chicken broth to not be that bad. Not a fan of the smell but its tastes decent.

I thought you were doing something other than the sleeve, though?

I set myself the task of connecting all the sleevers, not connecting everyone getting a surgery at all. Which isn't to say I mind adding you (I don't! it's fine! I'm adding you now), just ... if I'm remembering right, you'll have a different experience.

Obviously, if I'm remembering wrong, I apologize, profusely!

(Part of why I tried to only add sleevers is that the list is already very long. Part of it is that the RNYers will, on average, be miserable a little longer at the outset than we are, but then their losses will be greater over time. "Don't compare yourself to others" is good advice, but it's hard to follow, because we're human, you know?)

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
