Thank you for the encouragement, I can't even imagine what I will look like next year, right now I am focused on the preop and the 21 days after surgery. :thumbup: One day at a time. :)

Hello! It's been a few days since I've been on due to madness. The pre-op diet is still going fine. Thank goodness I can have coffee.< /p>

I had an appointment last Tuesday with the surgical center and this morning I had to give another blood sample cause they messed up the first one. Then at around 10:30 this morning I have another visit at the doctors office in prep for Tuesday's surgery.

The hardest part will be getting through the weekend. Since it's a long holiday weekend...we don't have anything planned. And when I have nothing to do--> i think about food.< /p>

Any free activities that I can take a 16 year old to????

I hope you all have a great July 4th and be safe!!!

Lots of community fireworks with food stands (for the 16 yr. old). Have your Protein Drink before you go.

SF pop sickles and SF Jello for you all weekend.

You CAN DO THIS.

Getting laundry done before my big day. Also trying to pack for a short trip a couple of days after surgery.

I've also been getting supplies ready for "after". As I was wandering around Crate and Barrel, I found a cute 6" purple plate that will be my new plate. I also purchased the smallest set of utensils to go with it. Actually they are horderves utensils.

Well, this is it. Tomorrow is my big day. I'm trying to get some last minute things taken care of. If you have any suggestions...I'm open for any of them.

I've learned alot from being here and I hope to continue to learn from those of you that have gone through this.

I hope you all had a great 4th of July!!

Good luck. Remember to drink (sip) fluids, have Gas-x on hand (I used the strips), benefiber is something else I had, plus a mild laxative (didn't use it though). Take your pain medication (if you need it). I also slept in a recliner for a week, my thinking was that I'm not totally reclined then the gas/air would not travel as easily to the left shoulder that everyone complains about. Gravity has it uses in this case:lol:, don't know if this works for everyone, but after having some other surgeries to me this was a breeze. I only used pain meds for 24 hours starting at 7:00 PM the night of surgery. And once again, don't be concerned about any weight loss for the next six weeks. This is the time to heal. So good luck on your journey to a healthier and leaner you. Please keep us updated.:)

Good luck tomorrow and think positive. For me, the surgery was simple, like have my teeth cleaned. No problem.

No shoulder pain, and I slept in bed from the first night. (Just not on my tummy)

Can't wait til you are a banded lady.

One week from today is my surgery day. I am starting to get really nervous and have some anxiety. :thumbup: I know it is because I know my life will completely change and that makes me a bit nervous.

From those of you who are already banded, did you ever regret your decision??

No regrets - and your anxiety is normal. Make a list of all the reasons you want to weigh less.

Success awaits. Look at the photos on this site.

It's all done. The only discomfort I have is from my ab muscles. And they have felt worse from my body building days.

Not sure what we're going to do for my daughters birthday tomorrow. I thought about getting her an ice cream cake, but she doesn't like cake.

Thanks to you all again. You have no idea how important you have been to me. I know there is still alot to learn and I will continue to come here for advice.

Have a good one!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
