hello everyone! im home and doing good. i been home since about 6pm. it went well. dr.miles told my wife that it was hard to get in there because of all the fat tissue in the way. but he said that wsa normal on big guys. im having some pain in the shoulders and in my stomach area. the pain medication helps some. and im taking some gas-x too. i have tried to drink every hour and got to eat one popsicile. but i think i over did it because i started hurting under my boob area a liitle so i stopped until it stopped hurting.

veronica came by and seen me before in the surgery twice, that was very nice. and i cant say enough about the people there that help me and took care of me. some of the most freindly people i have ever met. so if you are still waiting to get it done, dont worry because they are great people there.

well im going to go and rest a little now. i check back in the morning.

thanks everyone

Jason, it sounds like you're doing great! Walk as much as possible, and don't forget your breathing exercises, that's really important. I'm glad you have such a good support system at home.

Veronica is one of the nicest ladies you will ever meet. she came by and seen me twice before the surgery. and how did you like the pics of here before the surgery. its great to see some lose so much weight like that. it gives me and everyone else hope to let us know we can do it to.

on a side note. i think i over done it today with the wal mart trip. once i got home i was hurtting. i took about a 3 hour nap. my wife is so great to me. i hope everyone of you have a great support group like me. she has had it ruff with the kids and me. i have tried to get all the fluids in me as i could. i found out that some crystal light doesnt agree with me. and i got to eat some Jello tonight for supper. it was so good. its like cheating but not really. because its soild but liquid lol.

i also been talking photos the last two days. i just got to take a shower and get my bandades off. it wasnt bad at all to take off. done just what veronica said to do. i started my food journal today also. im sorry i could go on on talking.

Jason, I'm so glad you're doing so well. Just take it easy and heal. I ate so much Jello at that stage, I don't think I can ever eat it again. Just the thought of it makes me gag! It just seemed to get sweeter and sweeter until it was disgusting. By the time I was a few days away from soft foods, I couldn't care less about eating something solid, I just wanted something that wasn't sweet.

You know, I never thought about Jello getting sweeter everytime you eat it ~ but if that is all you can eat, I can see that happening. I am just 6 days away from getting my last dr's release! WOO HOO!! After that, I will be scheduled for surgery (according to Naomi). How is everyone else doing?

Jason ~ I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well. Just rest as much as you can

      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? 🤷‍♀️
