Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Yep, I see you you were banded on Monday. I wouldn't be too concerned yet. Were you prescribed pain meds? If not, liquid Tylenol does wonders! I would try taking something at bedtime!

Hi Eileen,

I was banded tues and I am having trouble sleeping as well. I am taking liquid ibruprofen for the pain. I sleep on my side and when I roll to either side it hurts. I figure this should only last a few more days. Lost 3 of the 5 lbs I gained from IV fluids though :confused:

Cate, yep, you will lose that fluid! ... pretty quickly too! Sorry you are a little under the weather too, but you are right ... a few days and then it kind of just magically disappears! Best wishes on your continuing recovery!:grouphug:

Jeanie,

Yes I am newly banded. I am working on Day 4 with the band. So I guess it is to be expected but it certainly gets frustrating at 3am! LOL Thanks for your reply.

Too cool!!! I'll join you, Dini!!!! But I want a slinky, sexy, red dress w/high heels, maybe stellettos!!! LOL

your gonna be one hot momma!! i bet your husband is liking the sound of that!!!

Sunny and Kathy, Love you Girls!!! You will be super!!!! Can't wait to hear how you are tomorrow!!! You are soooo much more informed than those of us earlier in the month! You know what to expect and you will be ready for whatever comes your way. Just remember, a few days of not so great is nothing in comparison to many healthy and happy days that will follow!!!!! We will say some prayers for each of you!!! Good luck to others going tomorrow also!!!! ... frustrated, newCC, jennyL

Here Here to that, i totally agree

:notagreeOkay, now this is just ridiculous!!! I am feeling rather sad at the moment ... where is everybody?????? Maybe I smell bad or something, lol!!!! (sniff, sniff).... Nope, not that!!! So where did everyone go???? Must be my bedtime!!! I can take a hint, lol!!!! Night All!!! Hope for lots of good news and reports tomorrow!!! Til then!!! :notagree

dont wory momma you dont smell half as bad i i do sometimes!!!! i remember i was on one night and there were 16 people in the room and no one would talk. now that night i really must have stunk!!

Dmtjet, I am right here, back from Curves. It was so sweet, my friend who has been unsupportive brought me flowers and a nightgown for me to wear to the hospital. I was touched. Cynical DH says it's her way of apologizing for being mean earlier. Either way, I am grateful we are patching things up.

some people find it so hard to say sorry but i agree with you totally i would ahve been very greatful also

Feeling a bit alone here. Surgery is tomorrow, now moved to 8am. I hardly told anyone. Hate lying to my best friends. Anyway, mentioned to my husband that I was getting a little nervous. His answer "It's too late, just relax", grabs a piece of chocolate and leaves the room. maybe I should have gone with the friends for support. Usually he's great - but I do know he has little emotion and likes people to be difinitive. BUT OUCH. CC

babes i totally know where your comming from. i only told Adam my mom and all you guys. my mom is dying for me to lose weight so i can be the beautiful daughter she never had and Adam at the start was pretty crap. i was so fed up of him i almost walked out and i mean i had bags packed. Adam is slightly larger than normal he lot like overweight or anything but he always eats crap and i'm trying to get him to eat healthy but he's having none of it. its making things harder for me cos i'm seeing all this food i used to eat... :confused:

Thanks Auntie!! I really am getting all the worries, what if I'm the one in a thousand that doesn't wake up? I have 3 great boys, 15,13 and 10. I stopped working the day the first was born. What if something goes wrong....I didn't tell my parents because they make such a giant deal about food/weight. They are both thin, but it's because my mom is anexoric for the whole world. But they are my parents, should I have said something "just in case?????" And husband (no D tonight) won't talk. Cry, Cry. CC

your weight is not that heavy from what i can make out on you BMI you have nothing to worry about weather you wake or not. did your Dr not explain that. its more dangerous for people that are like an awful lot heavier. If i could do it again I would not tell my mother, but thats jsut me you know whats best for you x

You know ... I have to say ... my Honey, never says anything negative to me about my weight or anything else!!! He is a real gem!!! I love him to pieces! He always makes me feel beautiful and loved!!! I really am not doing this for him, though I am sure he will reap the rewards, lol!!! I want to feel better for myself and feel good when we do have those special intimate times!! Right now, I don't like myself much and that does put a damper on those times! I am sure he would love to have a more responsive and confident partner!!! So in that respect, he will totatally LOVE IT!!!! :faint::confused:

Sounds like for the most part everyone is doing good. It's taking foreve to turn pages still on this computer.

Someone had mentioned a disc clean up. Whay is this, and how do you do it. I've tried 2 of the 4 thinkgs they listed to spped up your computer. I've disabled 3rd party add ons and I updated all my windows softwae yesterday. My computer took so long it was literally out of comission all day. It also said to install latest security updates but I have security, and to download a fix from Yahoo toolbar, but don't know how to do this.

Hope to have this darn thing fixed in the next few hours. I feel like a need a computer whiz to come ove and do this, as I'm unsure and would hate to screw up what I have.

Going to try some more things right now, so I may not be on for a while.

Hope everyoe will be checking in rom Wednesdays surgeries, and everyones doing well for todays surgeries.

I so miss you guys. I'm tryin to get back as quickly as I can.

Hope this posts!!

Lynette, Go to start, accessories, system tools, and then click disk cleanup. When that is done do it again, but instead of disk cleanup, click disk defragmenter. You also can go to tools on your page and click

internet options, Delete under browsing history and then hit delete all!!! Those all will clean up a lot of stuff from your computer and should help it run faster!!! These computers are a pain, I am still waiting to get my new computer fixed ... they brought a hard drive, but it seems to be the motherboard ... so now I have to wait for the parts to come in again and then schedule a time next week for installation!!! What a pain in the duppa!!!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
