MIA - I'm Back !!



Recommended Posts

Hello to all of my Bandster buddies:smile2:, I too have been MIA.:(. But I'm back now. My mom got sick in June and passed way in mid-July :-( so I have really been on an emotional roller coaster. She's originally from the South so when her sister's came out to see her they were cooking up a storm. I wasn't super bad by eating a lot just eating things I probably should not have eaten. (cake, cake, more cake. Fried fish, Fried chicken, you name it. I kept telling myself I was too busy and to depressed to excerise. I had my second fill yesterday I now have a whopping 2.6 cc's in a standard APband. Hopefully I will get some good restriction. Doc seems to be a little conservative on the fills. Anyways I'm ready to start exercising again and hopefully get my head back in the game.

hello, I too am sorry for your lost. How weird is that my mom passed away exactly 1 week after her 67th birthday, and to add to that her sister passed about last Oct exactly 1 week after her 70th birthday.

I got a fill on Tuesday and actually am feeling a little restriction. wonder how long that will last as i only have 2.6cc in my band.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
