Anothet thing is, are you drinking enough Water? Dehydration symptoms are weekness& fatigue.

Hello to all my July Bandsters!

Roll Call.......... How are you doing so far??

2 and 1/2 weeks post-op here. Not 100% yet. Still very bloated, swollen especially on one side, minor discomfort. Incisions are healing nicely (i have dermabond). Drinking lots of fluids, keeping hydrated. Started mushy stages getting in about 2-4 ounces twice a day, sometimes 3 times a day. Yesterday I actually got in a sugar free vanilla pudding and smashed a few slices of bananas in it. Started taking a Multivitamin (liquid form) for now until I can swallow Vitamin pills. I am only going to the bathroom #2 once every several days. I can't wait for that to go back to normalcy. Reaching about 20-30 grams of Protein a day, still trying to shoot for the required 60. Trying to move around more,I am working on this....

Hope you are all doing well...

Sounds like we are all healing , but each a little differently. Nothing wrong with that. Pay attention to your body and do what it tells you.

I feel blessed. Had surgery July 27th. I slept a lot and stayed pretty much at home for one week and then started to get my energy back. I would say I am back 100 percent now and even better than I was pre op . I'm down 24lbs as of this morning. I'm on soft food and eating around 900 cal. and around 80 gr. of Protein a day. I start my day every morning with a Protein Drink and incorporate a lot of protein into lunch and dinner, along with one small afternoon snack. I'm surprised and elated how seamless and easy thngs have been so far. I feel no hunger between meals and do NOT snack at all after dinner, don't even think about snacking. The hours between 8pm and midnight were always my undoing on any diet I've tried in the last 8 yrs. I even was on one diet where I went to bed at 9pm every night just to keep from eating. That didn't last long. I LOVE my Lapband. Not sure how or why ,,,,but this thing is working for me. I thank God and my surgeon dailey. I couldn't be happier or feel more blessed by this whole experience. The whole process has been so stress free and smooth, that I know Jesus had his hand in the mix. Do I sound happy? lol

I am and I hope and pray that this process continues working in the way we all hope that it will.

I'm finally getting back to normal, whew! Taking my Vitamins and also taking B12 with it. I'm now 8 wks post op and feeling great. Getting a lot more activity now. Haven't started exercising yet as I'm trying to decide on a facility, hopefully that will be decided this week. But have been extremely active during the day and trying to move so I'm getting some exercise with that, moving boxes and such. With that said, I'm tuckered out tonight and will say good night to all my peeps on here! Thanks for all your advice.

My doctor requires B12 either in shots or liquid drops.

i i buy B12 in liquid shots and inject myself in the thigh. i must buy more and give myself another shot. Hubbie and i have been doing this for a few years now. Usually one every couple of months.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
