Can't believe I am saying this



Recommended Posts

I apologize to those in bandster hell...but I actually forgot to eat today...It is 11:30 and not until I logged on here did it occur to me that I had not eaten....

I just had a fill Thursday, so I am tight and full. Yipee

About 6ccs. She said something about 5.5 and then gave me a 1/2cc fill, so I am not sure if I went in with 5.5 or left w/ 5.5. I always forget to ask. I think my band is 12 cc total.

I am quite tight and have not gotten "stuck" but have brought up some stuff. I have to re-adjust my eye-to band ratio again after the fill on Thursday for a while. I have lost 3 pounds since Thursday! It will level out after I get used to the fill.

What is eye-to-band ratio? How much you want to eat vs how much you can?

Congrats! It is a wonderful feeling to finally reach proper restriction, isn't it? I went through 3 months of misery, depression, feeling like a failure, gaining and losing the same three pounds over and over.

Now... my band is actually working! Woo hoo! It's different for everybody -- I have 7 CCs in a 10CC band.

Hang in there hellions -- your day is coming too!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
