Katie's Band



Recommended Posts

Oh what a sweet DH; we all appreciate knowing that Katie is loved and supported as you have demonstrated. Please tell Katie that I am prayig for her recovery to go exceptionally well and that 5 days from now she will feel almost back to her old self but with a lot more joy and hope for a healthier future that will be a blessing to you both. Also, tell Katie that I had a low BMI at date of surgery but have the big band. While I was concern at first because it took them longer to determine what was restriction (8cc in the 10cc Lap-bandVG or Vanguard band) with this more forgiving band, I am doing great with a steady weight loss of about 1.3lbs per week for the last 16 weeks (date of restriction). But with your love regardless, I know she is going to be fine. ;o)

Always,

Judy

We pray that she is doing better and will be home soon. The first few weeks are the worst. Support one another as you go through this life changing journey.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
