October Bandsters!!!

Hello October Bandsters. I thought I would start us a post-op group now that we are getting ready to start out second week of banders. I know we are all going to do GREAT. We will all be loosers this month!!!! If you are having a bad day dont hold it in. This is where we can let it out. If we stick together we will go far. We can do this ladys and gents. I know we can. Set a goal for yourself and let everyone know what it is so we can help each other meet that goal.

My goal is to walk/run a 5k by one year post op. I hope to meet that before then but I am not going to pressure myself to meet a goal that is not realistic. I know myself and if I set goals I cant meet I will give up.

Good luck to all of you.

  • Just a small piece of advise,,,,,,,, stay on fluids for a couple days, just so the swelling goes down. It's better to be safe... Congrats....

  • I finally decided to exercise. i did a Leslie Sansome dvd. I started out with the 1 mile walk and I could feel it. I think I'll do a longer walk tomorrow. I'm just so happy that I finally did it.

Thanks for the link and making it a secret group. I sent in my request!

I am in on the facebook group. Thanks for making it!!

Haven't reported in for a while. Go for my 2nd fill on Tuesday. I have 5cc in a 14cc band. If I chew thoroughly I can eat about anything I want except for beef and pork. Have managed to lose 51 pounds by dieting and a little walking. Gonna ask the doc if I can lift weights when I see him.

Congrats on the Loss !

Can you start to see or feel the Difference ?

Shirley.

Thanks. I can feel the difference in my clothes but I still look the same in the mirror. Kind of a bummer actually. sad.png 51 pounds sounds like a lot but when you start out at 379 it really isn't very much.

m1aman hey, it's going in the right direction! think where you'd be if you hadn't decided to get a band? the holidays have always been so rough!!!
