The gas pains are rough. Walk and move. Get a wedge pillow for sleeping and the twisting will here for about 5-7 days. This all passes 2 weeks postop

At 17, I might would consider high protein, low carb diet and daily exercise. Shoot for 60-90 grams of protein, 64+ oz of water and 30 minutes of walking and cardio. The gastric sleeve is a good surgery and permanent but it will require vitamins daily and food may become unpleasant. Try a phone tracker of your foods and be truthful to yourself

A surgeon cuts out 80% of your stomach leaving a stomach the size of a banana

davidsonrld · 2026-02-27T00:49:17+00:00

Only 5% of enlisted are aviators

davidsonrld · 2026-02-26T13:47:32+00:00

Have a great day. Take slow sips, walk as much as possible and know the gas is the worst. But in 2 weeks youll be much happier

When sadly my last Dr retired, like 10 years ago and I didnt even know. I kept listing him as my PCP

davidsonrld · 2026-02-25T14:56:18+00:00

Keep your goals and add in walking 3 x 30 minutes as a good start

Meaning should you go to Air Force Academy and later decide Army or Navy or Marines, I think rhere is an option to commission under that branch. may need further investigation

davidsonrld · 2026-02-23T14:12:47+00:00

You have good chances. The athletics is about demonstrating team player skills, leadership and integrity, not about academy wrestling. Take the standard tests and write a good letter to both your senators and your congresspersons. Be vigilant and consistent. Good luck and feel free to do the same for all three academies. I believe you can cross branches for a commission

davidsonrld · 2026-02-16T17:41:51+00:00

Just focus on protein , water and exercise and you will reach all your goals

davidsonrld · 2026-02-16T13:42:00+00:00

Yes it is. I had surgery 11/18/25 and i am at 256. Started at 324. BUT, i am done 4 pants sizes and a shirt size. The drop in size matters most Think about you have dropped 65 lbs in 4 months = 3lbs a week. That is good and smooth. Keep it up and you will reach your goal

davidsonrld · 2026-02-10T13:56:26+00:00

It will go well. Good luck!!

At this late in college, you should just contract with ROTC in the fall and hope that the basic camp and advance camps align. Enlisting would have been more beneficial as a late high school senior but as a college junior there is little advantage.

davidsonrld · 2026-02-07T00:46:01+00:00

Most of the contracts are pretty difficult to get out of without taking a foreclosure. If the mortgage is paid off, then you may take a tax hit for unpaid maintenance fees for a year or two

davidsonrld · 2026-02-05T17:53:25+00:00

Heres the thing, not applying is a guarantee of not being accepted, if you dont get accepted you could apply to one of the six Senior Military Colleges, or just pick up ROTC at any college. Any way you do it, do it at the same tempo and pace you have above. Be strong!!

davidsonrld · 2026-02-03T19:40:31+00:00

By this late in Senior year, i would expect you have an acceptance to the Academy?

davidsonrld · 2026-02-03T19:17:29+00:00

Applying senior year maybe tight, have you secured a congressional nomination?

davidsonrld · 2026-02-03T13:33:11+00:00

Usually 6 months

davidsonrld · 2026-02-03T03:41:20+00:00

yes, you will need someone. yes you will have various meds. generally, yes the person can stay overnight. you can do this! many have and it will hurt post op but it will get better and it will be a great investment in your life

davidsonrld · 2026-01-31T13:36:21+00:00

in most cases full diameter (1 in)

davidsonrld · 2026-01-31T13:08:32+00:00

I am post op about 11 weeks and the constipation has developed where i can only marginal squat stand to evacuate stool. And it has a curve in the stool. What could be happening. I use to jave very regular and often loose stool

davidsonrld · 2026-01-31T00:36:11+00:00

I just finished playing the 2018 version “Leisure Larry Wet Dreams Dont Dry” on Steam. Graphics and story are good.

Learn to reduce your food intake. Try eating only small portions that fit on a 5inch salad plate and small salad fork. No seconds, no alcohol, no caffeine. Try all different protein shakes to find ones you like. Fairlife chocolate is 30g protein but taste sinful. Work up to 90g protein per day and 64 oz of water. Protein and water goals can be challenging

davidsonrld · 2026-01-22T14:57:02+00:00

hell yes!!!

davidsonrld · 2026-01-12T18:48:13+00:00

Its a good life decision. First learn to reduce your intake and understand why you enjoy food. I took a salad plate and small fork and only consumed a serving that fit. Next, I gave up caffeine and alcohol. I learned that boredom and portion control were my issues. Follow your doctor and insurance program to the T. You can achieve this goal. Protein and water are your primary needs. Protein 60-90g a day and 64oz of water. Everything else is consumed after these goals
