42-hours til hosp. Check-in



Recommended Posts

It is 42-hours (approximately) until check-in time for Monday's RNY revision from Lap-Band. I am sooo excited and I can't wait to be on the path to a healthy weight and healthier life.

I lost a lot of weight with the Lapband at first (100-pounds, 1 1/2-years), but just gained it all back the following 5-years. The "skinny" me was amazing, but gaining the weight back has been heart-breaking. It felt like such a TEASE to only be skinny for that short period of time. I can't wait for the skinnier me to be back again and to have that energy back.

Come on "losers bench".

Had my band three years and lost at little over 40 lbs. It slipped and was removed 5/23/13, no weight gain and in fact lost. Had bypass last Wednesday and was really lucky. Very little scar tissue from the band so surgery was less than an hour. My problem was both blood sugar and blood pressure but having CHF and diabetes that was all to be expected. Went home in 24 hours, doing great and losing a lb a day. You'll do well and in no time be back to where you were and then some.

It will be over in no time. Once you are home that is all you will basically want for a few days and hunger won't be an issue, anyway hasn't been for me. Good luck on your journey.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
