Thanks everyone, the surgery went well my liver was small. And they weighed me before surgery and I went down to 254.2lb because my period had finished. Also I can’t lie I was really sleepy before they put me under anesthesia. While I was in recovery room I tried not to wake up even when they brought me to my room. Ladies and gentlemen it be no joke. Them gas pains. By God, the nurse was taking my blood pressure. And the stomach/gas pain was hitting me and my blood pressure went all the way up to 256 really quick, because of the pain. I told the nurse and she waited until the pain stoped and blood pressure went back down to 106. Not going to lie I’m suffering from feeling very nauseas and my body makes all the movements someone has pups if they wee going to vomit. But nothing would come out. My aunt is not dealing with the nausea like me. She feels like her chest hurts/heartburn. The medicine the nurse gave me a different one really helped with nausea, because the other ones wouldn’t help at all. Also I think they gave me pain medicine about 8-9 times already. Because when I tell you then stomach/gas pain hit you dam they are awful. But still it’s all worth it, my body will heal and get used to it’s new stomach.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
