Banded this morning Sept. 1



Recommended Posts

I was banded this morning and back to day surgery room by 10am. Sipping Water very slowly. Gas is very minimal and dissapates when I walk/move my arms. Do need the pain meds at times and they really help. No food until noon tomorrow. Probably greek yogurt as pureered eggs just does not sit will with me. Maybe that will change. Still pretty weak. Walked through grocery story with hubby and was a bit too much. First step over.

Glad i.t went well. Welcome to Bandland!

HI Cathy, I am wondering if you can tell me where I can locate and download the weight ticker. Also, and I know it's been a while now, but how do you eat one tiny bite every 2mins. and get enough food in 45 mins. Thank you for any help. Thank you too for having me as one of your lap buddies!

I have a lot of trouble getting my Protein and my Water, so I am probably not the best one to ask :lol:. Although, since I have been on mushies this week it has gotten so much easier.

Congrats! So glad your surgery went well. Mine is Tuesday morning Sept. 6 at 7 AM.

I was banded this morning and back to day surgery room by 10am. Sipping Water very slowly. Gas is very minimal and dissapates when I walk/move my arms. Do need the pain meds at times and they really help. No food until noon tomorrow. Probably greek yogurt as pureered eggs just does not sit will with me. Maybe that will change. Still pretty weak.

Best of luck to you! I think we had the same doctor band us. I am doing well, and I know you will, too. Just follow the rules and enjoy the journey.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
