New Years Resolution



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I was banded on Dec. 31, 2008 talk about a New Years Resolution huh? I am very excited about this new journey in my life and also a little scared. I have failed so many times before but I know that this time is different. My whole family is involved and very supportive. I feel very blessed. This is my 7th day and I am not scheduled for my post-op until Jan 20th. So it seems like I have a lot of time before I can even get a fill. I am trying to get used to the full feeling and realize that when I feel that I need to stop. It is defineatly a learning experience. I have done well and have had no problem eating. I am feeling very bloated and tight in my stomach. It is a very uncomfortable feeling I actually feel bigger now than what I did before. So much so that I don't even want to weigh myself. I so dont want to fail. Any advice out there I would love to hear from you.

Thanks in advance.:thumbup:

Congrats on getting your band and do take a look around the forums. Lots of great discussions and plenty of support from others that are going through the same experiences. As I say the easy part is over now and the hard part begins. Living life with the lapband. The weight will come off you just have to make it work for you!

Best of luck!

Thanks for the replies I am doing much better on the bloating now I just got to get past being so hungry. I don't know which is worst being in pain or being hungry. Im still on the full liquids and I miss chewing lol! Hope all is going well for the rest of you.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
