Very Happy with Doc follow-up



Recommended Posts

I went today for my one-week Post-surgery follow up with my doc. Said everything is healing up well and I have lost a total of 32lbs in the past two weeks...wow!! 12 lbs of that was my week-long pre-op diet, but 20lbs of it was in the last week...I feel great.

It was a rough week at times, only getting about 500-800 calories a day most of the time, but it paid off...I finally got to the point where I could get in about 900-1000 yesterday and plan to keep it under 1500 a day...Which shouldn't be too tough since I was doing that before being banded.

Even knowing the weight loss will reduce greatly here in the next week or so as I heal, it was a nice surprise when I got to the Dr and weighted in...I was so worried this wouldn't work and I was going to waste my money (I'm self-pay)... but it all worked out..

Thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement and advice of the past week as well.. :thumbup:

Congrats to you. I had my band on March 11th. I have to make my follow up appointment. I have been moving along well, just trying to get rid of the gas *^%^%$$.

I look forward to my visit to record any weight loss.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
