Looking for June 2011 Bandits!



Recommended Posts

hello everyone, i was banded on june 13th, how is everyones progress ???

I was banded on the 13th too! So far my recovery is going good. I haven't had much pain or gas pain. My steri strips are starting to fall off and boy is my belly button has a nice bruise around it from a major incision above it. So far no nausea or throwing up but I have been real good with my liquid diet and havent tried to eat anything i'm not suppose to yet. For first few days I wasn't hungry but now that I'm healing Soups and Protein Shakes arent cutting it, but I will be a good girl and follow the liquid diet for another week!

Hope yours is going good too :lol:!

Oh, I had to lose 10% and keep it off since march. I also have to be at my pre band weight day of surgery or they will not do it. It's hard to keep the weight off for so long, I would have preferred the liquid diet at least a week before surgery. I may just do it anyhow. Tanya

Hi Everyone, my name is Tracy. I originally posted on the July band post but my surgery got moved to June 30th so I'm here now lol.

Pre-Op diet sucks :P But I'm doing everything I can to stay on track!! I hope it gets easier after surgery cuz right now I'm starving!!

Anyway, I'm happy to be here and excited about my surgery. Any and all support and tips are helpful and I'm happy to support anyone who needs it. Good luck to those of you having surgery tomorrow!!

'My surgery is one week away - 6/27. I have so much nervous energy. I didn't go to bed until 5 this morning. I'm just so excited to get on with this. As for post op stories.......I think there are lots of people out there like Roziecakes that do really well because they DO EXACTLY what their doctors ask them to do. Keep a positive attitude and you'll do just fine. My surgeon said I should have less pain than when I had my gallbladder removed, and truthfully that was no biggie.

I have sort of cheated also, this pre-op diet is a killer lol. I had two bites of pizza that the kids had last night for dinner and two pretzles *sigh* That's my mental limit, if I let myself have two bites of something it can't do that much damage right?! That's my hope anyway. I really want to stick with this but I seem to be hungry constantly. Oh well, I will do my best and that's all I can do. :unsure:

Mine is also the 23rd. I can't wait! Good luck! I had to do a 14 liquid diet, but only found out I was doing the surgery 10 days before, so lucky me.:)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
