Hello Hope 2 do you know any support groups in the area? bc the ones I have ran across on base are geared more toward gastric by pass and the sleeve surgery.
Hi I'm 6 months banded and struggling a little. I recently just moved and need a little support. If you live near Ft. Lewis let me know bc I'm new to the area and would love to know where support groups are.
Well the night before surgery I had protein shake, cashews, and spinach. But before I started my 4 week pre opt diet I had a sweep the kitchen from Johnnys. Which is basically a pizza with everything on it. And I also had hot wings. It was delicious. But now that I am 5 days post opt and ive lost 32lbs since I started my pre opt diet. I dnt miss it one bit!
Lets see I took ipad, socks, nice comfy pillow, gas x strips, comfy elastic pants and a comfy loose shirt for the ride home. I'm from Monroe Louisiana but my surgery was done in Fresco TX. So I had a long ride home. Good luck and God Bless on your surgery, stay calm and you'll be fine! Oh yeah I had my mom run to the store to get me chap stick my lips were extra dry after surgery and toiletry items.
I am 3 days post opt and I just finished walking about 15 mins in the park. I feel ok. My stiches hurt every now.and agin and the gas is bearable. The hardest part for me is remembering to drink 2 oz of protein ever hour. But I have faith that I will get the hang of it! I also miss swinging on the swing with my little sister but ill hope I will be able to do that next month :•))
