Post Op Anxiety or Depression
Charlie75 replied to kcmonkmi6912's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is. I'm 8 weeks post op. Watching the WT loss and the life changes that come with it make the other stuff not so bad. HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 212 -
My surgery was 6/7/17. I'm getting my fluids in. Getting all my proteins in is sometimes interesting but otherwise it's going ok. I've lost about 48 lbs (38 since surgery). From a size 22 to a 14/16 HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 212

36 hours to go. freaking out
Charlie75 replied to LiveFreeOrDie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I worried about that stuff too. I called my kids to tell them I loved them and reminded my wife about the life insurance policy...lol. Ur gonna take a nap and wakeup sore. U won't be hungry. Ur not gonna wake-up a size 3 so u will have a little time to get used to the new u, though I'm still shocked when I see myself in the mirror sometimes..lol. HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 215 -

Sleeved Yesterday 7/19 - having trouble!!
Charlie75 replied to Kyle Lukas's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm about 7 weeks post op. I was kept for 2 days. I do agree that we tend to be discharged too early. As for the discomfort, I was taking Norco for about a week and a half. The first week was very uncomfortable. Did I say very? VERY... But it got better. By week 3-4 I had alot more energy and was walking in the park and by week 5, I started going to the gym.

Vent..complain..self pity perhaps
Charlie75 replied to abs6angels's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am 4 weeks post op and I think my biggest issue is not enjoying the prep that goes into cooking. So I'm often looking for pre-mede meals. I also need to do better at calorie counting. Tedious.... HW: 265 SW: 250 CW: 222 -

Fatigue & Weakness ....
Charlie75 replied to Karrina-D's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 6/7. I take a walk through a nature trail at a park near my house. I was huffing and puffing on the way back but it felt nice to finally have the energy to do it. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app -
My first 2 days were rough. I just slept and hurt. I didn't have the gas pains, I was very achy. I drank nothing the first day and very little the 1st post-op day. My surgeon kept me a second day because of the poor fluid intake. I'm drinking more today. Water, gaterade, and protein powder with water. And liquid Norco.... I'm going to assume I can consider that a fluid...he he. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

I got my sleeve June 7. Yesterday and today I am so missing being able to eat a whole meal. [emoji22] Prior to surgery, I considered how I might feel losing one of my dearest coping mechanisms, but I didn't imagine it would feel like this. [emoji20] Oh well...this too shall pass.

Am I loosing Weight to quickly?
Charlie75 replied to Tiki Toli's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's ok. I didn't either. Use ur nausea and pain meds early. Small sips all day. Follow ur doc's orders. U'll be ok. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app -
Me too. I'm working on increasing my protein. BTW...The 1st baby food beef is 8g in 2.5oz! Mixed it with beef broth...not bad. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app

Well, I had hamburger patties, cheddar, shrimp, fish, spinich, and I bought protein drinks. But I don't think I'm getting enough protein..... I know I'm not getting enough protein. I'm just kind of unsure how to go about this whole thing. Sent from my Moto G (4) using BariatricPal mobile app
