July 2005 band dates????



Recommended Posts

I'm not nesting, but what is strange is that I am not hungry! My doc doesn't make his patients do the liquid diet before surgery, in fact, no restrictions at all. I figured I would be eating every thing in site just because - but I really have no appetite at all.

Hi Primadonah,

I don't think there is any pre-op here who doesn't have a few doubts about long-term success. Let's face it - we wouldn't be having the surgery if we hadn't all been through endless dieting and subsequent failure. I find that reading every lapband success story I can get my hands on helps me feel optimistic. There are no guarantees, but at least the odds are strongly in our favor for once!

Good luck with your surgery!

Tomorrow, July 20, is my day--seems like it is for a lot of folks!

Good luck to all of you!

The adventure begins.....

Anwyn, I hadn't thought of it as nesting, but I guess I am. I am trying to finish painting my daughter's room before Thursday, so we can get her furniture back in there and out of my way! I'm also working on the laundry, because there are just those fave clothes that are soft and comfy and I want them ready to wear!

I'm having my surgery at the Surgery Center of Fort Worth, which is really more in North Richland Hills or Hurst. Dr. Marsden is my surgeon.

I agree that it is nice to talk to someone when you want to find out more and get some "atta girls"!

Hey y'all! I got my band yesterday and once I got home I felt much better than I expected to.

My biggest problem was getting in and out of my tall bed and sleeping on my back.

Feeling pretty good, but my body tells me when to take some pain meds.

When my husband gets home for lunch I am going to take a shower. I think they glued my boobs to my belly! :D

susu said it right, now I need a ticker and a cute picture!

Good luck everyone!

Colleen...I so agree on the tall bed and sleeping on back - I have that too! I am a toss and turner...but you definitely know when to stay put!

I work up this morning and found that they had left one of the ekg deals on me.

Obviously didn't bother me at the time...:D

Glad you are doing good.

Got home yesterday from being banded Thursday, feel better today than I did yesterday. I too have a problem getting in my tall bed & laying on my back. But not too bad, long as I take my meds when needed. My family are all out swimming. That sort of bums me out. I love to swim. I don't know about where anyone else is, but it is 103 degrees outside here! I don't seem to feel as bad as I thought I would. That's a good thing! I was worried what I would do about being hungry. I haven't been hungry once, yet.

I am happy to see that the other new bandsters are doing good, also.

On My Way to a Slimmer ME!

My husband picked up a rubbermaid step stool and that has helped the tall bed problem 100% and last night I was able to sleep on my side again (it's the little things!).

The heat is bad here too and the mosquitos are AWFUL, so it has been hard to walk as much as I should.

Everything else is going fine though.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
