getting banded at 7am



Recommended Posts

I am so excited and nervous. I know this is normal. Thank you everyone for being so supportive to me. I have discovered bandsters are amazing people!

I am glad the weather is supposed to be nice for a few days. I can walk on my dead end street. I want to feel better as soon as possible. Not looking forward to 4 weeks of liquids, but at least I should (hopefully) be losing during this time. That should make it worth while!

thanks again everyone, Denise

Thanks Kitty!

I think I'm a little nervous- I've been having muscle spasms on the left side of my back for the last 3 days. Muscle relaxers don't seem to help either!!! GRRRRRH!

Hi Denise,

I hope everything went well with your surgery. I'm on day 4 already and the liquid diet after the surgery is not that bad. In all honesty, I don't feel hungry at all. I am supposed to stay on a 1,000kcal a day diet and I hardly reach that goal. I drink a lot of Water and also discovered the "Propel" Water from Gatorade which is a Vitamin water.It is excellent. They were giving me that in the hospital and I continued drinking it after I came home. Now, I know I should be getting Protein and I got from GNC the whey Protein [chocolate flavor is great] which I disolve in skim milk. So I replaced the Slim Fast Optima shakes with this.

When you feel up to it, give us an update on how you are feeling.:)

      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.
