January 2013 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

My date is 01/22. I'm excited and nervous as well. I'm sure this is the best thing for me, but afraid it's not going to be what I think it is.

I have my surgery this coming Tuesday the 15th... I have been on the pre-op diet for two weeks and have lost 10 lbs.. fortunately my insurance did not require a long extended diet.. If I was a successful dieter I wouldn't need a lapband.. lol I have been on every diet known to man' date='

I lost and re-gained hundreds of lbs. so hopefully with the help of my lapband I will be successful in not only losing but keeping it off.. good luck to all my band of sisters and brothers for January 2013...[/quote']

Good luck tomorrow and I know how you are feeling. I'm on day 9 or 10 Clear Liquids before surgery Wednesday. I can not wait till purée stage

All right ladies - we have almost made it one week on our pre-op diet! One week and one day to go and some of us will have already been banded, banded on the 23rd, or a day or two away! It's going quickly! I hope everybody is doing well today!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
