Surgery Tomorrow 3/18...Yikes!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it's here, OMG.... I'm not nervous at all, I just want this over with. Today I have to keep my food very light and then at 3:00pm I take phoso soda, I hate that stuff...

I remember when I was researching this surgery about a year ago, went to the seminar in July and then decided let me try one more diet, weight watcher, well that was short lived. I decided in December I had enough, I needed help and went back to the surgeon and started the process. In January we started all the paperwork and every step of the way went smoothly. I believe when you have no stuggles during a process then it's meant to be.

Well I will be on the other side over the weekend, and I will get back on the board to share my experience.

I can't THANK all of you enough, I get so much support here...

Good luck Corgi: We will leave the light on for you and fluff up the pillows upon your return. I can feel you excitement.

Come back and give us an update when you feel up to it. Take it from this kitty as a way to waste the day. LOL!!

This is very true Corgi & for those of us who do struggle the taste of victory can even be a little sweeter;0)

You'll do great & I hope all is uneventful just as your process has been. I wish you a very speedy recovery! Congrats.

Best of luck tomorrow! Tomorrow is my 3 week anniversary of my band and i am still excited about it! Let us know how it goes. If you can do it, a few hours after recovery, call someone and leave them a voicemail. I called my wife and left her a voicemail I don't even remember and it's the funniest thing! smile.gif I sound like a perv at first breathing into the phone smile.gif "haaaahaaaahaaa...Well it's over, there's a lot of pain but it's done...haaahaaahaaaaa" smile.gif

      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? 🤷‍♀️
