It's Official...... I'm a Bandster



Recommended Posts

I got my band yesterday(21st). I had my surgery at 8:30am, and was up drinking baium at 2pm for Doctor to see if things were passing ok.

I got home around 6pm. I had to cut my pain pills into 4ths to be able to take them....let me tell you after 8 chunks and some sips of Water I felt so full.

Today hasn't been as bad. My mom and I took the girls to school and went to Target and SteinMart and a few other little shops. LOL hubby won't believe I was able to go out and spend his money today!!!!

thanks to all of you who pepped talk me in the days prior to my surgery!!!!

Thanks for all your kind words and support!!!!

:update:

I have gone out Shopping/walking each day since surgery. Today mainly walking but did buy some sf Jello at Walmart.< /span>

You won't believe what cruel punishment I inflicted on myself Wednesday night(1 day post-op) I grilled steaks, made a nice salad & greenbeans for my Mom, Hubby and girls. Then I sat at dinner table while they ate.......:phanvan but hey I survived it!!! I even cooked again last night, but tonight Mom was gone and I let Hubby fend for the girls!!!! My stomach sure growls alot but I have been eating Jello, drinking some(little bit) high protien slim fast, tea, Water, coffee. I haven't had to take the pain meds since Wednesday....so I am happy so far with the way I feel!!!

Love to all Y'all here at LBT

      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!!

      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?
