I Am Officially A Bandster



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery this morning. Had to be there bright and early at 6am to where they immediatly got me to the nurse for vitals then into my gown- with the socks and mismatching hat- so sexy. Next the nurse to go over everything with me and then the IV lady, and the bariatric nurse.... all at once- slight overload. Then they pushed me to pre-op and yet another nurse- along with the OR nurse...holly molly lots of nurses. Then the anasesiologist followed by my suergon... It all seemed so chaootic but not too long after all that they wheeled me back and dopped me p next thing I know I'm in post op- the procedure was quick like a bunny I guess and all went well soon after I was home. I have a little pain and discomfort around where the port is, but I hear thats to be expected. Most of the afternoon I napped, and sipped now to get to the walking part- ugh I hate this part but it will be worth it.

Congrats!! I agree with everyone...walk, walk, walk and sip, sip, sip. Take your pain meds every 4-6 hrs and rest as much as you can. Oh yeah and heating pad and gas-x if you have gas pains

Congratulations & welcome!

I agree with everyone else above: walk around as you can, use the heating pad & gas x for tummy discomfort, sip x 3, and relax. The first few days I found myself to be very tired.

Good luck!

      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?

      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
