October bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! New here. Hoping to meet some friendly people! :) My surgery is scheduled for Oct 14th!! My pre-op liquid diet is going surprisingly well' date=' on day 6! Atkins shakes, whey Protein Powder lots or sugar free Popsicles and sugar free Jello do the trick! I've had headaches since day one however. Anyone else experience this? Also my job requires lots of moving around and lifting, does anyone know about how long recovery is?[/quote']

I was told it would be quite a while before I could lift over 20lbs again. Many people experience those headaches during the liquid diet, it's a withdrawal-type thing. It will pass though. You're already at day 6, so they should stop in the next few days as your body adapts to your new diet. Congratulations and good luck! I was banded on the 2nd! :)

I'm on day 3 of Pre-op diet and doing ok. I have a mild headache but my husband says I'm grumpy. I guess mood changes are normal with everything we are going thru.

I'm not sure what I did to make this underline, but today is my first day of pre-op diet. I can't say that I am hungry, but I want to eat everything in sight still. I am hoping that this will go away.

My doctor did not put me on a pre opt diet. They told me to eat what I wanted and have that glass of wine if I want. Hmmmmmm.....

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
