Looking For August Bandsters....



Recommended Posts

Shelley, can I just jump in and say that if you are flying home make sure you have some gas medication with you!! I flew home 1 week after surgery and found it uncomfortable, I think it was something to do with the air pressure. Goodluck with it all!!

Hi August Bandsters....

Well, guess what? Had to go to the walk-in clinic today (Sunday) since I thought I had a bladder infection.....I was right! I am so upset and worried that they will postpone my surgery on Wednesday, but the doctor today and the pharmarist thought I should be O.K. for surgery by Wednesday. Doc gave me a 3 day heavy-duty antiboitic.....please send prayers my way...I really, really don't want my surgery postponed.

Has anyone else run into something similar to this prior to surgery?

I had my band placed on August 8th. So far I've lost 9lbs since....Is this normal? How much are you suppose to lose a week?

Margo,

It is possible to get rid of the infection by Wednesday. Take the antibiotics and drink fluids constantly Water and cranapple juice to keep the kidneys and bladder flushed.

Best wishes.

Actually, if you really want to use Cranberry juice to help with your infection, you need to read the labels very carefully. Most of the Ocean Spray juices have very little cranberry juice in them. The best thing I ever did for a UTI was to go to GNC and get Cranberry Juice Concentrate. It tastes absolutely horrid. But, what I did was mix a shot of cranberry juice concentrate with about 4 ounces of 7 up or Sprite and then chug it down. It helped with the taste, but it was still pretty awful. Do this as often as you can stand it, and the UTI will go away within a few days. At least, that was my experience with it.

My 2 cents!

Oops. . . I'm an August bandster, but August 2004. Duh! I never thought this year would fly by so quickly! I still have a way to go on my weight-loss journey, although I can now shop in "normal" stores, sit on an airplane without bruising my backside, and walk for more than a few blocks without getting winded. Good luck to everyone in the August 2005 crowd. You have an amazing journey ahead, and you should congratulate yourselves for taking a big step toward a healthier body. See you in Bandland! :banana

      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.
