Good luck to Bandsters week of 11.26



Recommended Posts

Ha! Thanks! Well tomorrow is the day for me! My surgery is at 7:30 am. Was a juggle to get all of the kids taken care of (we don't have any family here so friends pitched in). Our son is staying over with his friend tonight, our daughter, same thing, and my best friend is coming over to watch my baby girl so she doesnt have to go to the hospital at 5:30 am.

Hope it all works out. I'm scared, apprehensive, worried, and wish it was Saturday already!!

Will check back in with everyone as soon as I can!:omg:

Hello! I made it and I'm glad it's over. Nothing too bad, the gas is weird. Never had anything like this with 3 c-sections. My port site is the worst and the dr bruised my liver but I blame myself for that (I didnt follow the pre-op diet as well as I should have so my liver didnt shrink as much).

Other than the gas, just trying to figure out when I'm full. No nausea or vomiting, able to take in liquids np and I'm not uncomfortable so not sure when I'm full.

Doing liquids only and staying close to pain meds. My port site hurts like crazy. I've been walking a lot and I've got ice on the site (per dr instructions). Oh well, I'm sure it will all go away soon enough but I'm so glad I did this!! Nice not to worry abt it anymore!! WOO HOO!!

To those waiting, gl and it's the best thing you'll ever do.:)

Hi everyone, it has been good reading about everyone else, so I thought I'd jump in. Banded on Nov 29 doing great! Just been walking around the house and in the yard, but I'm going to get back on the treadmill tommorrow. How are you getting all your Proteins and liquids in? I'm supposed to use a one ounce cup, no more than one in 15 mins. sure feel alot better, just using the liquids for two weeks, not sluggish and lazy like before. Congrats to everyone, Cathy

      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? 🤷‍♀️
