August 12th!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm off to Detroit today and then tomorrow I have my pre-op consult and then my surgery on Wednesday. Just wanted to give a shout-out to my fellow August 12th BANDits and to everyone else who has been so supportive. I'll be sure to let everyone know how it goes when it's all said and done.

Ooooohh..... if you're looking for something to do tonight, GreekTown Casino is a blast!!! (however... it's smokey as HELL! since you just quit smoking, I suppose you could hop the river and go to Windsor Casino... which is smoke free!!)

Maybe go and play at Eastern Market?? there's so many plants and flowers to look at :thumbup:

Can't wait to hear how everything goes! You're going to be very pleased with Harper Hospital! I certainly was!

We went to dinner near the Greektown Casino on our first night. I can't remember the name of the restaurant (probably because all I could eat was a crummy chicken salad), but it had TexMex. I wanted to go into the casino, but the bf wasn't feeling it. Wish I had read this post earlier, we were so BORED yesterday after my pre-op consultation. You're right, I am very pleased with Harper Hospital, and the whole Detroit Medical Center as a matter of fact. Detroit might not be what it once was, but these facilities are outstanding.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
