Any July Bandsters out there?



Recommended Posts

I was not banded on the 27th. I was in the hospital over the weekend for something else, a heart problem, and now I have to get that taken care of before I can be banded...if I can be banded :/

Debster I'm so sorry. If you have been sent home, the hope is you are stable enough to be there. That would hopefully mean your condition is treatable and you will be back for your band in no time.

And as hard as it is, please be a patient patient.

Please take care

I have never posted...but have enjoyed reading everyone's posts. I was banded 7/8. My husband was banded on 7/7. We are both doing great. He (being a man, no offense) has lost 2x as much as me, but the dr. told me that would happen.

Thanks to everyone for sharing! It is great to know that we have comrades out there who know what we have gone through. :juggle:

My husband is a great cook (part of our weight problem-lol)---but he has been very creative with our puree foods--thank goodness. I wasn't looking forward to baby food Protein.

Good wishes to those who are going to be banded soon. I wouldn't go back--it was worth it.

I was banded July 16th and so far so good. I'm having trouble getting enough calories in a day is about it. I'm about 500-600 right now at the most. I start puree foods soon so I'm looking forward to that. I'm walking everyday and I've lost about 30 lbs so far. I had about 10 lbs weight lost before surgery. I had yummy refried Beans today and it tasted like heaven!:juggle: Hang in there everyone, you are doing great!

Me and Hubby were banded on July 24, 2009. He had to have the Hernia taken care of too, so he is having more problems keeping the liquids down. We both had soarness in our legs, neck, and stomache. I am doing great, went back to work yesterday with no problems. Hubby stayed out for the whole week. I am so glad for this surgery because I am tired of being overly healthy (hehehe). He has lost 30lbs total (pre-op 19lbs) and I have lost 20lbs (pre-op 10lbs). I recommend this for anyone needing help/control.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
