Lap Band-buddies



Recommended Posts

I'm hoping to make a few band buddies with the same surgery date (December 8). Everything is easier when you have friends to lean on, especially when we are going through the same thing!

this is very interesting to me. So on Facebook you can start a group in your personal profile? Are you sure no else will see it? I would love that without everyone knowing my business. How do I go about doing that?

This is very interesting....can you see my newsfeeds? Will I have to friend you? Can you comment on my status and images? Or is it like a separate wall? hmmmmm :blink:

Its going I lost 13 pounds so far. I am a nervous wreck. My husband was banded on Monday. I wished I had gone first. He seems to be doing good though.

Are you interested in joining our secret Facebook group. I need a twin ;-) If you are just inbox me your full name with location and I will friend you, then add you to the group and defriend for privacy. So none of our "real friends" find out lol...Its a great group of people 64 so far smile.png

      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? 🤷‍♀️
