How to Eat Like a Bandster



Recommended Posts

Thank you so much for this post. I've been struggling since January and have had many stuck episodes lately. I'm finally going back to see my surgeon tomorrow after 5 months. I had my surgery in Oct 2011. I'm going to dig out all of the materials I was given when I was banded and reread them.

Thanks again!

Cyndy

Cyndy, it never hurts to put yourself through a band refresher course!

Jean, I agree about the refresher course. I sure wish I would have read your book "Bandwagon" before my surgery. I think I would have handled many of the problems and concerns that I had shortly after surgery when I entered bandster hell and stayed there for nearly 4 months.

Reading the book now, I'm not sure I would have really understood many of the challenges I was about to face. But it's so good to be able to read now and understand. Many "aha" moments!

I know what you mean. When you're just starting out, you're dealing with an overwhelming amount of new information and new experiences. It's hard to keep it all straight at first.

Hello we're can I buy this Bandwagon Book

You can click on my Bandwagon ads here on LBT (you may have to wait for them to cycle onto your screen because the ad spots are shared with other advertisers), or you can go to jean-onthebandwagon.blogspot.com and look at the purchase options on the left hand side of the screen.

Thanks for your interest!

      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! 😞
