Wednesday 2Nd Is My Day...



Recommended Posts

Obviously very nervous and stressed out, the only thing that is keeping me feel good is all the great success stories I read, see, and hear over the Internet.

I have a lot of friends who think it's the wrong thing to do, especially when they tell me about the people they know whome the band wasn't a success :( I just feel I don't want to be with these friends anymore, and I'm waiting for the day we'll meet again to see the new me, and prove to all of them I took the right decision.

Wish me all good luck!

Wishing you all the best! I didn't tell anyone except my sisters b/c I didn't want to deal with other opinions as others do not know where I've been. I wouldn't change a thing. I've been very happy and successful with my band. I was also nervous before surgery but had done research & felt confident in my surgeon. He didn't disappoint. You may find some people comfortable with the "old" you have trouble with the new you. Not a reason to not follow through. You will find your true friends are great & other new ones who like you for you!

Im 4 months banded, have had no problems, can eat anything in small amounts and other that a "bad pulled muscle feeling" on my left side for 10 days i never had any pain . Im down 34 lbs and look and feel so much better ! The only thing i regret is i didnt do it sooner ! You'll be so glad you did this when your clothes start getting loose. Just follow your Dr.s orders and you'll be fine . Good luck !

I didn't tell anyone until some started to notice my weight dropping. I didn't want my firefighters to treat me different. Once they knew what was going on with me the understood and they supported me. Some of them got concerned because of the rapid weight loss.

Good Luck....

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
