July Butterflies Master Thread



Recommended Posts

:D I am doing fine. My gallbladder is out and my lap band is in. No pain, only some discomfort. Can do all for myself and only need my DH to pick things off the floor that I drop - lol. I now believe all who said it wasn't that bad. Of course, being from Missouri, I had to see it to believe it :eek:. No gas pains as yet, hope they stay away. I went in at 11am and was on my way home around 2:30pm. They had me in a chair as soon as I reached my room and walking soon after to the bathroom. Those not banded yet, really listen to this from all the others. The nurse kept emphasizing it and I truly think this is one reason I have not had a problem with the gas yet. Okay, medication is kicking in and I must move to my recliner. Till later...

Thanks for all the concern, prayers and well wishes. They were very appreciated.

Thank you SO MUCH! These are great ideas! I was just about to ask how I can get some Protein in there :thumbup: Thanks so much!

Hi PDX, it looks like you were banded just 2 days before me and you and I have similar amounts to lose BUT I notice you've lost 2x as much as I have. I haven't lost any in the 2nd week since surgery. Are you having consistent weight loss and were you on liquids for long? I was on liquids for 24 hours then soft foods. I have very little restriction.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
