Hi all,

I was banded on 12/5 and the post op went well for me. I took the pain meds couple of times the first 2 days and then I didn't need. Good luck to all the upcoming Dec Bandsters!!

Hey Kath, that is awesome. I am glad things went well without any issues and you are not in pain. We will take this journey together and get through it.

welcome to the club and 12/20/08 will be my third bandiversary. Hope you all enjoy the ride and remember that everybody is different and this is a trial and error journey with the band. I still have days that sometimes chicken will go down and sometimes it will not. I love my band and it literally has saved my life. Good luck to all joining this adventure and enjoy the ride!

banded Dec 7th here. Ive lost 10 pounds in 1 wk since surgery. Very happy about that. was very excited to eat applesauce yesterday. I didnt have any of the pain that alot of the people experience. I have only had some soreness around my incision area so I havent started doing any long distance walking. Just around the house. Im going to try to gym today and see if I can get 2 miles in. Good luck ! Its a new life and you are going to love it!

Hello everyone, can I join up too? I was banded on 12/6 and am just starting to feel myself. Between the preop diet and the diet post op I felt weak as a kitten. And really hungry. But today I really am feeling much better. Last night I watched the biggest loser finale- wow- what motivation! I am still on full liquids and Proteins shakes- looking forward to chewing on something next week!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
