Could use from my fellow lapbanders



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. My name is Tina and I have been on this board for over two years now and have met some amazing people. I wanted to reach out to everyone in an effort to get some support for the upcoming 3-Day Breast Cancer walk that I will be participating in. I did the walk last year and enjoyed every minute of it. Because I have lost the weight and I have the ability to walk 60 miles, I want to continue doing this walk for as long as I can. I am asking that you please support my fundraising efforts so that I can participate. I must meet a minimum of $2,300 in donations or I cannot participate. The walk is October 9-11 and I have quite a ways to go before getting to my fundraising goal. If you are able to make a donation, regardless of size, I ask that you visit my web page at: Welcome to the Washington DC Breast Cancer 3-Day:

I appreciate your attention and pray that my fellow lapbanders can help me. Thanks again.

So...the walk begins in 11 days and I still have a long way to go before reaching the minimum goal set by the walk. I'm asking you guys for your help. Participating in this walk is very important to me...I really want to do it again. Last year was very inspiring and I can't wait to participate again. If you are interested in donating, please follow the link on the post above and it will take you to my page. I thank everyone in advance and I hope you all wish me luck. Thanks, guys!

That's so awesome Tina! I will definitely visit your page and make a donation on Thurs (pay day). Will you send me a note to remind me?

Hope all else is well with you!

Thanks, Val. Every little bit helps. I truly appreciate it. I'm so determined to get to that amount so I can walk. I'm so excited but a little nervous that I'm doing it by myself this year. Last year I put together a team and there were five of us walking together...this year I'm all alone. Wish me luck.

You're going to do great Tina! Just making a donation now.

It's such an amazing organization--I just did the Chicago Komen 5k last weekend and it was so inspiring!

I'll be walking with you in spirit!

Val

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
