January 2013 Bandsters Unite



Recommended Posts

I am soooo tired. My surgery was the 16th and I can tell my body is healing from the wounds, but I have no energy. Taking a shower and getting dressed seems to take everything out of me. I am supposed to go back to work tomorrow, not so sure if that is going to happen now. I am also feeling very light-headed. Don't know if that is lack of nutrients or what. I'll ask my doc tomorrow.

My doc said he could give me up to six weeks off so ran with it.

I am lucky that I have a very understanding boss I just can't afford to take the time off. Enjoy your time!

Thank you... I agree it is harder than I thought it would be too. I also think I am having a little bit of the feeling of what the heck have I done to my body? I hope you get your energy back soon too!

I was banded yesterday morning. I had the band with plication. I am very sore on my right side. I have had a really dry mouth and scratchy through. My dh bought be some sf popsicles last night (tropical type.) These were like heaven and may become my best friend! My surgery was at 9am and I was home by 2:30pm. Hoping for some fast healing! Good luck to all those getting banded this week.

      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?
