April 2 : My band date/new beginning



Recommended Posts

Woke up this am an couldn't sleep. Guess I have the surgery jitters a day early. Alot of mixed emotions going through me right now. I am so happy that I am being banded an still can't beleive it is happening it happened so quick just 2 days shy of my first appt last month am now I am going to be banded. I will be glad for my new journey an the support that I have from my friends am family it's a challenge that I'm ready to take along with my lapbandtalk buddies. I keep thinking now i will be able to run in the yard with my grandbaby an share moments with the two that we just adopted that are 5 an 8. i feel i have also just started over in parenthood because my kids are 17 yr 19 yr and 21 yrs old. Thanks to all of you for taking the time to read my forum an PLEASE remember me tomorrow :)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
