MAY 2009 Bandsters - shout out!!!



Recommended Posts

I am planning on a full 7 days off (Wed-Tues) and the option for the Wed-Fri following if necessary. A lot of people here and in groups have mentioned going back to work the next day!!! Hopefully you will recover quickly if you are expected to get right back to work... Take extra care of yourself if you do!!!

Here's a shout-out for my fellow May-bes! After much waiting, I'm going into surgery on May 18th, in Australia.

Since I'm a teacher and the 18th is a Monday I plan to have the whole week off work. (My boss has been very accommodating, although he thinks I'm having a hernia operation.)

Best of luck to you all, I look forward to hearing about your journey!

Hi All, I have been moved to May for my band. The date hasn't been set until blood test results return. I do have approval from insurance though so all is well. I'm excited about this!

Hello-

I am new and my surgery is scheduled for May 4th! I would love to join the May Banditos club but can't seem to figure out where to find it?

Yea for May! I'm on the 8th, it's quickly approaching.

I quit my job in December because it was so terrible. I didn't think I'd still be out of work, but maybe it's a little bit of divine intervention so I don't have to worry about rushing back to work before I'm ready or what I'd tell my boss. At least that's the way I'm choosing to look at it!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
