My Life as a Bandster



Recommended Posts

Bandito: With all that you have on your mind, you are tremendously successful. To not show a weight gain is awesome. Think of what would be happening if you did not have the band. Emotional eating can get out of hand, but your band is working. Doddie

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been around. My mom is not doing well and I have been away a lot. Doing well otherwise, lots of exercise and decent eating. I am so excited to be almost in the 100's that I just had to share it with you all. Today I am at 203...thanks for always being there. You all are amazing. xoxo

Well, I got to a major goal today....199! I evewn weighed myself twice to be sure! I am very happy about this milestone.

On another note, I am on my way to an ultrasound for my gallbladder. Has anyone had troubles with thier gallbladder since their band? I am afraid they will have to remove it and damage my band. Probably silly, but I am worried nonetheless.

Yippee for me for my milestone goal!

Thanks for asking. I sure do miss my nice full band. Now I have to rely much more on discipline and I have never been good at that. As soon as I am sure that this reflux stuff is under control and my esophagus is in great condition I am going in for a fill-up. I am starting to feel much, much better. Yippee!

I can feel your pain. I did the "too full, need multiple defills past where I last felt good at" thing as well.

Hi Leslielee how are you doing?

Lorie how are you doing? Did the change in work schedule help? Hopefully things start to settle down soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
