April 10th Bandsters - Check In

Hi. I'm not sure if I pressed the correct reply button. Please forgive me if this is not the correct way to ask questions!

I had surgery on April 11, 2008 in TJ Mexico. I just found this great website. Can I join your group? If yes, I'm not sure how to do it. It's very reassuring and encouraging to read through your postings over the past 5 months. Congratulations to everyone!!! I've had a few issues, but keep plugging along. It would help a lot to chat with people who are in my time frame. Thanks and I look forward to chatting with all of you!

Hi Cubs Girl!

You are welcome to hang out with us! There is a more active thread for all April Bandsters that you may find more people to chat with! Here is the link if you'd like to drop in.

OH MY GOODNESS, OF COURSE!!! Then's no joining....just jump in with us. We're all April anniversary for our bands and so we find we have had a lot in common along the way in this journey. By the way, you can ask anything here, but there are also other groups you can join as well. I use the site for support, band friendships (no one gets what's going on with me better than other bandsters) and a great place to ask all the questions you'd like to ask. And you know what, other than really medical issues, you'll find more everyday answers and suggestions here- annecdotal, but much really works.

As Turler (Carol) already told you, there are more active threads that we're on. Play around with them, or start another until you find us. I think we've been using the multi-page "calling all April bandsters", but I'm not sure until I look.

Anyway, welcome and congrats for joining in.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
