207 today

I posted my weight but don't see it on the spreadsheet.

Weight loss mode

Current weight 209

Goal weight 195

I'm in

I eat one or 2 strawberries or a couple pieces of melon with my Protein which is usually chicken or fish. Feel the small amount of fruit helps my energy level.

I order pizza for my kids every week. Have picked off a couple pieces of chicken or pepperoni. Totally full and very happy I'm not eating 3 slices as I would have before surgery.

Please can someone help me to stop the tons of emails I am receiving

I'm sorry I can't figure out how to post something except to reply to a post. Also getting tons of emails. How do I stop them.

I just took a weeks vacation. No explanation.

Today's the day. Having the band removed and gastric sleeve.

Sounds like lactose intolerance. Undigested dairy products create a distinct very foul odor. Try taking a lactate tablet before eating dairy products or switch to lactaid milk.

January 13th for me

I'm having a conversion from band to sleeve. Band was a disaster so feeling hopeful the sleeve works for me. Where do you live?

"Dmmjtj" mine is also on Jan 13! How are you feeling about it ?

I am scheduled for January 13th and would love to join the closed Facebook group. How do I do it? Thanks

My doctor said no nsaids 5 days before surgery but highly recommended them post-op. He also gave me a script for liquid percocet if I need it but so far I haven't taken it

Well I finally got banded yesterday morning. Stayed the night in the hospital and got home this morning.:eek: I feel great! They gave me tons of anti-nausea medicine and it worked great. Today just taking the liquid advil for the gas pains and have plenty of energy. On clear liquids till tomorrow then add in some pureed Soups and cream of wheat Cereal. I have no hunger but keep sipping on liquids to keep hydrated. So glad its over. Lost 22 pounds on my 10 day pre-op diet so hoping to continue with the good weight loss. My Dr. doesn't do the first fill for 6 wks.

Hope all you other November bandsters are doing well

I have been following for a few weeks. I'm having my band done on November 4th. Just wondering if there is anyone from Ma. in the November group. Would love to find a fellow bandster for support
