Young Post-Op Bandster



Recommended Posts

Hello,

My name is Heather today I am 15 days post op. I am looking for a lap band buddy. Someone who I can talk to about progress and get to know. Unfortunatly I dont have many people who know what i'm going through right now and a buddy would be great. I am looking for someone who

1) between age 20 - 25 (in college or just graduated)

2) banded in the past month or about to be banded in a few weeks

I want someone who I can talk to about lapband struggles, diet, and someone to get to know. If you are interested in a lapband buddy please let me know!

I may be out of the required criteria lol.

I'm 31 and banded a month ago. I know quite a bit due to crazy research so let me know if I can help.

From the UK.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
