It's been a while since I got on to check on how everyone is doing. I just wanted to drop by and say Hello! The pictures I've seen so far, everyone is looking FANTASTIC! I have to admit, coming back and seeing the progress of my fellow Jan. bandsters makes me regret my decision even more. I let my nerves get the best of me, but what's done is done I suppose and I can't go back in time. So, I"m just gonna keep on truckin'..lol. Hope everyone is doing good! :tongue:

Hey Amber! Thanks for stopping in to say hello! You can't regret your decision because it was the right one for you at the time. I'll quote your post: "DH and I had a long LONG conversation well into the early morning I made the decision. I canceled everything Monday morning. I felt like I had a huge weight lifted off of me, so I know I made the right choice."

I can't believe it's been 2 over months since your surgery date! I just had my 3 month anniversary and it's amazing how quickly time flies.

If you don't mind me asking, what were your feelings the month following your scheduled surgery date? Is surgery an option for you in the future or have you decided it's not the way to go?

Be well!

Hey there, Amber!

Of course we January bandsters remember you! I'm glad you checked in!

How are you doing? Have you been able to achieve what you hoped to?

Please fill us in on what's been going on in the last couple months with you. You may not be banded, but we care about you anyway!

Hi Amber, don't ever doubt that the decision was the right one. I resisted the Lap Band talk from my doctor for years, and it was only last year that I decided to do it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
