Hahaha and there it is!!! Our little GT's morphine smile! :D :D :D :D Congrats on a successful surgery and such a sweet smile of victory!!!

LOL, on another note, I just found this thread (again). LOL. I say again, cuz I vaguely remember reading it the first time in my own morphine haze thinking first: Happy Birthday to our sweet and hilarious GT, then second thinking that perhaps you might be dead, curled in a fetal position dumping in the back of the bus to hell. ROFLMAO! This morning I find this thread and realize I hadn't dreamed it!!!

So glad surgery went well (from the photo) now we just need lots more piccies and a blow by blow!!! Are you up and walking already???!!! I thought of you this morning as I did my walk, walk!!!!

Arrived at the hospital at 630 am.

Registered and was taken to preop area to collect samples amd change clothes.

I was immediately started on lactaded ringers (IV drip), vitals taken , met with the anesthesiologists then my surgeon. Asked final questions i was unclear about. & received answers

Taken into the OR and was pit under general anesthesia. Awaken briefly in recovery where i advocated for the proper pain meds (morphine does not work for me), fell asleep again to be awaken when i was in my room where my lovely Boyfriend was already waiting. Amazing. Feeling.

Labs & vitals every couple hours but I got up to walk around. Told my Guy to go home around 11pm so he could rest properly.

Walked again 4-5 am, then started the Water protocol at 6 am but fell asleep again. Now im resuming the drinking amd spirometerji

All in all not terrible 😍

      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? 🤷‍♀️
