Hi there and congratulations! Hope you're feeling better today. The walking really helped me so much during the healing phase. I was also constipated -- didn't use pain medication but just from the anesthesia in the hospital -- and I had to take something to help with that. Best wishes -- you are on your way!

Walking does WONDERS for the bloating and pain. Everyone (not the folks on here) around me kept telling me to take it easy and not push myself, but walking is the best thing you can do. Also, everyone is different, so everyone's recovery is different. Listen to your body and do what feels right for you. :D

Walking everyday helped so much. I also had to sleep sitting up/on a recliner for the first month. It was just too uncomfortable to lay down. This band is a learning process. I'm still learning. Remember small bites, chew, chew, and Protein first. Good Luck.

Hi Kerry 5570,

Glad you are feeling better. I enjoyed walking and still do to release the bloat. I still also enjoy my heating pad and gas-x thin strips. (I recently switched from chewables).

To add a ticket, look to the top right of the screen where it says "Hello Kerry 5570" Click there and then click on you avatar the little person to the left. On the left hand side of the next screen look for tickers. Click tickers. Then click add tickers on the next page. It gives you some options for the weight and the little marker.

Best Wishes

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
