Hey Lou Lou,

Am so please for you - I read your posts with interest and am so glad that you are mostly happy and upbeat about the whole thing.. So many of these forums you go on and everyone is so negative! Start my pre-op diet on Thurs and op on the 25th this month. I am of the firm belief that if i go into this with a positive attitude and don't try and cheat - that I'm going to better off (& lighter)!!!

Any tips or pointers that you have - especially for the pre-op diet to start with would be greatly appreciated! Cheers,

Thing Thin Thoughts!

Yes Lou ...you are always so possitive , its something I need to learn ..I have been a glass half empty kind of person all my life , always expecting the worst I HAVE to CHANGE...Hubby is a very Optomistic /possitive person ...Lucky for me couldn`t imagine having two sad sacks around , I hope when the banding is done and I can see the weigh coming off my spirits will lift.....

Looking forward to more of your happy possitive posts....

M.xx

I love my band too!!! It has not been easy, that is for sure! I think most of the reason I have been so successful is because of my positive attitude. I am really grateful for my band!!

I just had my 1st bandiversary and I am close to 30 kilos down. Since my last fill I am greatly restricted in what I can eat but I am still enjoying my new body and I am willing to accept the restrictions of my band. I still feel very positive and would recommend a band to anyone who is commited to a life change. I do have my down days but all I have to do is look in the mirror and I feel a whole lot better! My tip is to have fills and don't be discouraged if you can't eat some foods, - that is the whole point! I figure that I have eaten enough in my lifetime and now I have to accept that there are some foods that I will never eat again.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
