March 2014 Bandsters - Let's Do This!



Recommended Posts

Banded 2 days ago, not really in pain, but feel very stiff and sore. Just taking Tylenol and Gas X, but kind of bummed that this surgery kicked my butt. Hoping to feel better for the weekend, and ready to get this show on the road!

Don't be bummed. :) Everyone heals differently. I took a total of 8 days before I went back to work. (Read each day on my blog http://banderland.weebly.com). And I'm still not 100%. Just know that it gets better and better with each day.

Day 8 of pre-op sugar busters diet.. My para brings in green cupcakes for St. Patty's day for the kids! A green cupcake has never looked and smell so good! But I made it through! Ive been good so far..I deviated a bit yesterday by having some fried zaxbys tenders but everything else has been baked or grilled. I've only been eating veggies, lean meats, Protein Shakes and a couple Protein candy bars.

Yeah! !! Finally made it to the banded side. I had my surgery around noon yesterday. I had enlarged artery near my liver that had to be moved to get to my stomach. While moving it, the surgeon nicked a vein and had to repair it, but other than that, everything went great. Yesterday is a bit of a blur, but I managed to move around a little. Today has been pretty good. I have had my crystal light and Protein Shake and I've gotten up and walked around the house to get the air out.

Hello everyone, my surgery date is March 31. I'm on day 2 of the 14 day liquid diet. I'm having the hardest time. I'm so hungry and so ready to chew my food instead of drinking it. Do anyone have any suggestions?

      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.
