Hi ML,

Just wondering how your surgery went. I know I did not want anything to do with the phone or computer for 2 - 3 days. I wasn't in pain but just couldn't get comfortable. Hopefully once you get home and a good nights sleep you will be up to posting.

Saying a prayer that all is well.

Hugs,

JoAnne

I want to thank everyone for all your prayers and support. Sorry I have not got on here to let you all know how I am doing. I got on here a few night ago and left a message on the thread "Fellow Sleevers" but I was not feeling well so I had to stop. I am feeling better today. This is the best I have felt all week since surgery on Dec. 2. I am so surprised that I did not have hardly any pain, except the gas pains. I have been tired and have had severe nausea up until today. I am grateful though that I have not had any vomiting. I went to the flea market I think on Sat. and walked around alittle bit and I walked a few times yesterday, but today it rained all day. So I decided to go to the Y and get on the stationary bike, I went slow kept within my target heart rate. I want to go back to my swimming classes so bad, but I have to wait until my incision heals. I will be going back for my 2 week check up in a week and I will ask the doctor if I can go back. I will find out how much exercising I can do in the Water. I am so excited about my journey. I am hoping that I am doing ok on my post op diet. I am going to have to read more comments to see how everyone else is dealing with their post-op diet. I have to be on pureed foods for one more week. Today I had a hard time getting enough Protein in, but I am doing ok on getting enough liquids as far as I know. My Body Water mass is only at 35 % which I think is low, I think for a female my age it is suppose to be 47%. I don't know if I am getting the figures correct or not. For the past 12 weighs on my new scale, I have been at 33-37 % Water mass. If anyone knows about this, please let me know because I sure don't want to get dehydrated. I was told to get at least 32 oz. of Fluid in per day and try to get 64 oz. in.

I do know that I have not been walking as much as I should, but now that I am feeling better without all that nausea, maybe I can get in more walking time. I will try to come back more often. I hope I don't keep repeating myself, but I tend to forget what I have previously posted. Thank you all!! Does anyone know what the correct % of water weight should be for a 55 year old female on the scales?

[Chancie 65]

Glad you're up and about ML!!

The nausea is awful- but like you said at least you're not vomiting.... I had alll of it- nausea vomiting and dry heaves.......... Ugggggggggggggggg!!

I don't know about the Water masss- you have a scale that tells you this???

Just sip sip sip alllllll the time!!

Glad to have you amongst all us losers!!!:lol0:

Hang in the ML - you're still freshly out of surgery, so don't push yourself and certainly don't beat yourself up about not getting in the walking - you will be very tired the first few weeks until you start on mushies, that seems to improve one's energy level. Take it easy and allow you body to recover from the major surgery you just went through - you will have a lifetime for walking, swimming and exercising, taking a few weeks off is not going to sabotage your weight loss. Focus on healing, and not feeling guilty for not walking. Healing is your #1 priority right now.
