Not feeling well.

Posted 09-22-2008 at 04:55 PM by Rebrph

I was just banded on 8/29/08 and I have been doing really good and feeling great and then I started my cycle two days ago and I feel like crap. I feel so tired and have had more shoulder and chest pain and I haven't changed my diet. Has anyone else experienced this with their first cycle after being banded? I just hope I don't have to go thru this every month, I just want to crawl up in the bed and sleep all day. I couldn't even drink all my protein shake this morning. I hope this passes soon. Blahhhhhh!!!...

Banded for 3 weeks today

Posted 09-19-2008 at 09:11 AM by Rebrph

I was banded 3 weeks ago today. I have lost 14.4 lbs since surgery and 19.9 lbs including the 2 week pre-op diet. I am so happy. I wish I had done this a year ago, I can't believe I ever considered not having this done. I already feel so much better.

Feeling Fine

Posted 09-09-2008 at 01:09 PM by Rebrph

Well today is 11 days post-op for me. All my incisions are healing nicely, no more bandaids. I have lost 8.4 lbs and I have walked the last 7 days in a row!!!! I go back to work on Thursday. I am keeping a diary everyday of what I eat and how much I exercise. I actually enjoy writing my day down on paper. It helps keep me honest. I feel like I have a new attitude

Too fast!!!

OMG...I just learned a valuable lesson. Do not drink your protein shake toooo fast. I guess I was going back to my old ways and I didn't realize how fast I was drinking, not until the shoulder pain kicked in. Well 2 hours later I am feeling better but believe me I will slow down from now on.

Disappointed

Posted 09-06-2008 at 09:40 AM by Rebrph

I know I should be happy but I am disappointed in myself. Today I weighed for the first time since my surgery 8/29/08. I have only lost 5.4 lbs. I have been on the clear liquids and I have been walking 30 minutes a day. I have read so many post by others who lost so much more their first week. I know everyone is different. I guess I just set myself up for a let down. If I only lost 5.4 lbs this week I am scared for the next week considering I am moving up to full liquids. What do I do??...
