Wheres My June Bandsters??



Recommended Posts

June 8th @ 8:15 am it's been a long wait. I'm preparing making sure I have everything in my home for 2 weeks post op, I've receive some great tips from this site I think one of the most important one is to make sure you're cleaned out. (the colon that is) it eliminate Constipation, nausea and cravings after the fact.

Tomorrow I have an appointment with the cardiologist for clearance before surgery, and a EGD. Not excited about tomorrow, but getting excited that these are the last few steps before surgery on the 15th:) Starting to do a little shopping for some maxi dresses for the summer. I figure they are a good choice for changes in weight throughout the HOT Texas summer. Hope everyone is doing well:)

I'm also in Texas, and so glad to be doing this early instead of in August when it's 20000 degrees, LOL!

I will be banded June 7th! Can't believe it's less than a week away! I've been in the process since January. Excited for the life change, and hoping for no complications. Are there any other Iowa girls out here?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
