Back at work...side hurts a bit but every day is a better day...averaging about 600 calories (plus or minus a day) and afraid i'm taking in too much. Haven't seen much in the way of weight loss though I can't get more than a half a cup in at a time. I'm doing my walking and the gas is lessening...thank goodness!

I've been in touch with everyone in my band group (we're going to have to come up with a name for our group...DBV...any thoughts?

I want to start working out again soon. Maybe recumbent bike next week (next Thursday will mark 2 weeks out). This may fall under a different forum but when did you guys start working out again?

gypj (I sure have a hard time calling you this, how bout a nic name?) Are you under cover?

If I'm guessing right, didn't they turn you upside down durning an x-ray? which threw off your groove....and you want to start excersizing? Take it slow.

Am I part off this group? I did get a new band. :banana :banana

Spring-Banders? Congratraulations everyone!

You can stick with Meshawn...gypj was just what I came up with to fill out the form and gypsy is my personal nickname.

Ahh yes the upside down xray..its probalby the reason i can't get full now...i'm having a HORRIBLE time Vera...i'm mushy sorta right now and eating like ...well like i'm on a diet...can' have more than 2 teaspoons here and there and it fills me for hours but I've given up on liquid...I still do want to start recumbent bike next week...my legs are screaming for a good stretch.

I dunno...I thought the hunger would go away...I hear talk of people who don't want to eat for a while...i've been wanting to eat almost since the day I got turned upside down but can't seem to hold more than a teaspoon here or there...*sigh*...I spent too much money to defeat myself but I just can't be at work hungry.

Oh...DBV is Veras new name...it stands for Double Banded Vera...and I think the Spring Bandsters are a great name for our group!

Meshawn, I can't stand liquids anymore!!! I did a 1/2 yogart for lunch and the 4 spoons of Jello here and there is about all I can take. I been takeing prevacid for 4 days now and my esophagus feels better, was haveing pain-heartburn every time I drank something.

This band is different from my first, that's for sure, I'm tighter from the start.

Hang in there your still healling. Things will get better. Say Hi to Mom.

      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!!
