February 2007 bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I had my surgery this morning. I'm doing fine so far. Just feels like someone hit me hard in the stomach... Just Sore! I haven't had any gas pain yet... I hope they don't come later! Seems like I would have them by now. I had my surgery around 9:00 A.M. One advise I would give is not to wear a real nice shirt, because my incisions drained a little and got on my shirt in several places. I never really got that nervous. They kept me busy at the surgery center.... GOOD LUCK to all of you future bandsters.

Hi Feb Bandsters, I had my surgery on Friday Feb 2nd. I had a pretty rough time with the anasthetic and was in hospital for two days. My insisions are very tender and i have been having the shoulder tip pain, but I was able to laugh with my nephews this morning.

My surgeon was really happy with my pre surgical weight loss with the Optifast, and he told me my liver was in really good shape, and that the operation went smoothly.

Hope you are all well.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
