Bandwagon



Recommended Posts

I highly advise everyone waiting to get banded or those recently banded to get the book: Bandwagon here is the website:

http://jean-onthebandwagon.blogspot.com/

This is a wonderful resource and the woman who wrote the book was banded. It's written in plain lan guage and an easy read. I took it to the hospital with me. It has a list of things to bringto the hospital, a list of questions to ask the doc after surgery, etc. Really useful stuff. The book is $20 but totally worth every pennny. I ordered from Amazon and it took about 3-4 days. Good luck to everyone out there!!:P

NJGirl,

Thank you for the recommendation. I will go to Amazon and order it now. I hope it is available on Kindle so I don't have to wait. And how are you doing today?

It'snot available on KIndle but I sure wish it was!!

I am feeling a little better each day-still sore. I can drink 4ozs at a time but anymore really gets me full. Today I am getting a shower-that should make me feel a lot better!

How are you feeling?!

Good! Keep your eye on the prize at all times! Also keep a good perspective because most people tend to post their worries,fear, setbacks and concerns on this site (which makes sense because they want help). Every now and then read the success stories-that should keep you positive! Good luck on your journey!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
