breatheeeeeeeeeeee! It will all be okay desertmom! trust me, you will not be eating the same portions that you did pre band. I am sure all will be okay! Being a ball full of nerves is totally and completely normal. Everyone on this board can attest that I was a total wreck for weeks before my surgery!

Take it one day at a time! Everyone here is going to be right there with you for all of it!

... and welcome to LBT!

Buckle up and enjoy the ride!!!

hi

I'm back from the hospital.Was actually released yesterday already.Slept most fo the day and feel like sleeping today as well.

I walk around and have even climbed the house stairs a few times.

I was 7 pound heavier when I came home than when I left.I know it is the fluids they gave me but still.I busted myself to lose those pounds before the op.

Anyhow,enough for one day.

Speak tomorrow....

Welcome to bandland! I know the feeling, I was 8 pounds heavier when I came home. The nurse actually said to me "You come here to lose weight and we pump you full and you gain it", I thought she was kidding me until I got on the scale when I got home! It comes back off really fast though! :)

hi

Thanks for thinking of me.I am 3 days pos-op and all in all doing ok.

Only thing is my pre-op aches are back.I havent felt any arthritic pains since Saturday because the Tramal they gave me obvioulsy helped for that.However I woke up during the night with the shoulder,foot,wrist ect ect.

I feel a bit despondent about that.I wish there was an easy way to treat this but it seems there's not.

Hopefully as I lose weight it will all go away.

Anyhow,I just feel as if I dont quite know what to do now..........

Hi Desertmom,

It is very nice to meet you and see your successful banding. I'm glad you didn't let your fear stop you. My blood pressure dropped like a rock since I got my band. My mother in law was born and raised in UAE. She has fond memories of her childhood there and has shown me many pics of her youth. You've done wonderfully and I hope your success continues. Best wishes, Teresa

      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.
