Good luck on your upcoming surgery and it will be here before you know it. I was banded on March 12th and it came and went so fast!!!

Thank you for the well wishes! I am sure it will go by so quick, but waiting for the date is horrid!

However, when put into perspective, it took many many years to get this heavy, and waiting another 12 days to start taking it off isn't going to kill me. :frown:

I had my band date for like 3 months, and it seemed like it was never going to get here, and now I'm sitting here and Friday I'll be banded for 2 weeks. It's amazing how time flies. TGIF is my new motto because every time I get to advance my diet is on Fridays :Banane20:

This Friday I get to start mushies, and I am so thankful for that, I'm really tired of drinking my meals. It has been weeks since I had a day without Protein shakes, except for the first week of Clear liquids, but 3 weeks pre-op and the last week it's been Protein Shakes and I'm so ready to eat regular food and not have to rely on them for my Protein source.

I was thinking today that it will be really cool in a few weeks, not only will I get real food in 3 weeks, but I'll get my first fill a week later, and get to start working out that same week :huggie: Yay I'm so ready, and really ready to be healed inside and out already!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
