January 2013 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I got my approval letter today from Insurance :). Hopefully I will get my surgery date tomorrow. I'm hoping I will be a January bandster. My dr requires a full liquid diet for 10 days so it's going to be close. Getting nervous now.

Where did you get your chewable multiple-vitamin? Any suggestions? My dr said no gummies. Also I just got the twin lab chewable calcium citrate and they are really sour. Anyone have suggestions on those?

I got some from Unjury made specifically for Lap Band patients. They were super nice when I called to order Protein Powder and send several free samples of Vitamins and other flavors of Protein powder

Thanks. I was looking at theirs. I'm going to order some of the cheese sauce I think. I ordered the chicken and unflavored Protein. And am going to try the fuzzy navel Syntrax Nectar. I just got my approval letter so I'm hoping my surgery date will be soon. Just waiting to be scheduled. :) I have completed everything. Excited and nervous at same time!

Hey everyone, I had my surgery yesterday, and I'm feeling pretty good. I had a hiatal hernia they found and repaired while they were in there. Not too many gas pains. I've been walking around a lot. Some incisional pain on the lower left. All in all, feeling good! Also, started out at 331lbs and was 307 lbs yesterday, so I was really happy. Good blood pressure and cardiologist said a healthy heart, so I've been in really good spirits. Since I'm in mexico I also got a tooth fixed for dirt cheap.

Anyway, good luck to you all, let's keep in touch!

      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.
