2 Weeks Post Op...Beach Walking for Exercise
TeoySeptember 12, 2015
The first week was rough, I didn't respond well to the anesthesia so I couldn't drink anything by mouth, nor could I go home. 4 days in the hospital on fluids through IV.
I was able to walk the 1st day, just not as long because I was nauseous. I went back to work this week and minus taking a break when necessary, I'm walking at a pace to sweat and increase my heart rate.
I seem to be losing about a pound a day, 16lb loss so far. The hardest thing is gettingv required protein and water.

OMG, yours was today? How did it go? Let me know how it goes and how you feel. I have my first consultation with my surgeon next Friday, so I am still a little bit out from a surgery date. Best of luck to you!!! Wishing you the best!!

What do you mean you are not excited? You didint want to do it?
August 30, 2015
I wanted a tool, the nauseous soreness and unable to drink what I've been drinking two weeks prior is not exciting. I'm getting better but, having never had surgery to this level, the anesthesia did not agree with me. I'm going to go home tomorrow if I can get this last bottle down

Be patient my dear. I am 6 weeks post op and doing great. I have to say I couldn't drink the same protein drinks I did before surgery. My tastebuds changed. I drink the 32 gm muscle milk and Atkins drinks. Small sips. It took me over an hour to finish one at first. Gas pain was ok for me. I have to say I was angry the first three weeks. I loved it and hated it at the same time. This is your hormones and food addiction out of whack. It does get better. I wished now I would have done this sooner. I am down 35 lbs and loving it. It is a tool for me because I can't overeat . I don't like the feeling I get. Good luck and keep your chin up over the next month. When your on soft foods it will get better..

5 Days til surgery...I had a meltdown today
TeoyAugust 22, 2015
Today I realized I'm less than a week away. I've completely gone to water and a coffee alternative, more protein than I've ever had daily. After 2 weeks of nearly 80 ozs of water daily and walking daily today I have a meltdown. Isopure now gets on my nerves, I almost cried I wanted soda and lemon pepper wings so bad. I craved all things salty and sweet (cycle just ended,so no reason to crave). I drove to the McDonald's drive through then reversed out of the line before ordering and went home. In addition to all my healthy choices, today I ate fritos, M&Ms and a pop tart. It wasn't until I realized I had to actually leave the house to get anymore junk I almost cried. All of a sudden it hit me, I'm nervous again and although I don't think I've ever had an anxiety attack, I think today I was pretty close.
I want to go to the gym, I'm running up and down my stairs, I want to jog and physically almost none of these things are possible (effectively)right now because I'm so out of shape. Also, did I mention the same inner conversations of why did I let it get this far have started again? I'm not sure if this is normal, but I'm reaching out to the group to say HELP! I am a part of a Healthy Living group and all they do is post how they naturally became fit, their determination etc etc. Although their determination and drive is motivating, but it's also very intimidating. Can someone tell me why I'm feeling this way?
Okay, tomorrow is another kitchen sweep of all things not conducive to my health. I will continue my protein and water intake and trust this process. I'm just venting to people I think may understand what I'm going through.

Dont give up girl....stay strong!!! Just 5 days left and you will start a new journey towards your goal. So dont get weak. Keep us updated. My surgery is on Oct. 14th and i know it wont be a peace of cake ..... So just sending you positive energy :-)

You are so normal! I also had times where I had to make myself reverse out of a drive thru line. I ate a personal pan pizza and pretzels and felt like a complete basket case about a week before my surgery. My surgery was yesterday and I can barely drink broth at this point. It's really real what you are going through you just gotta try not to completely fall off the rails and get it back under control now. The sleeve will help you once you have it! Keep your head up!

Congrats,mi hope you get well soon. And cant wait to see the before and after pics.
August 23, 2015
This too shall pass...you'll be out of that era in a min. You'll be so glad too. Good luck to you.
August 24, 2015
Just keep in mind that this is all worth it. My surgery date is Sept. 1st. I'm supposed to start my pre-op diet on the 26th but I decided to start today. I try not to think about the fact that my life will change in a week. I just take it day by day. Keep your head up, be strong and believe in the blessings that God has waiting for you.
