January Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! I am going to be banded on Monday, January 17th at Marina del Rey Hospital in California. I am nervous but excited! 2011 is going to be the start of a great year!

Congrats! How are you doing so far?

I'm doing okay, still recovering, thanks for asking. Took the bandages off to reveal the staples today (yuck) and trying to take it slow with the liquids but learning that what seems like a little bit is still too much. Looking forward to being a few more days down the road to hopefully be pain free! And looking forward to having a few more January buddies :)

Had my band put in Monday and feel really good. Minimal pain, mostly from burping.

Went to work a couple hours today and feel very good. I guess I was blessed with out some of the complaints others had.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
