Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

I'm now 7 days post-op, feeling great! I've lost 4 pounds since last Monday. I've been on full liquids until today when they progressed me to the pureed stage. I have to stay on this stage for weeks 2 and 3 and then I can move to soft foods week 4. I have my follow up appointment with the surgeon on the 27th. Haven't taken any pain meds today and don't really feel I need to.

Yesterday i started eating i was banded fri. I had cream or blended Soups Greek frozen yogurt and even Cheetos puff corn you can have one cup for 140 cal. They melt away in your mouth. I didn't follow preop diet while i did lose 10 lbs in low cal i didnt drink just gross shakes for 2 weeks. My doc said my liver looked great. Keep in mind im a low bmi bandster to start. Post op I'm supposed to have liquid but I'm blending soups they are almost liquid but have more flavor. I feel great!

Friday is the day and I'm getting more nervous and more excited everyday...more excited than nervous. The only thing I'm really afraid of is how much pain I'm going to be in afterwards. My Doctor said I'll be fine but I've read some horror stories and its making me nervous. Anyone have some positive feed back from after surgery?

Please be careful Susie the need to be careful post op on your food choice is not weight related so it's almost irrelevant what your BMI is - its to do with allowing your stomach to heal xxx please be careful x

      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? 🤷‍♀️
