Hi Fellow August Banders,

Just curious...how many days does everyone plan to take off of work for the surgery? Also...for those of you who are keeping this top secret, what have you told your employer when requesting the time off?

My surgery is on a Friday and I'm thinking of taking off Monday as well and going back Tuesday...hope this is enough time....I am a little nervous.....:wub:

I took a week off... and just told them I was having surgery. It's not anyone's business WHAT surgery I'm having...

Well good morning everyone! It is now exactly 48 hours till "HAPPY BAND-LAND" As far as the diet, haven't cheated one bit! But I have been stuffing my face with sf icecream, sf pudding, lf yogurt (yum), and cream Soup. I have also been peeing like a racehorse, and managed to loose 10 pounds of Water i'm sure! Been going to bed at 8:00 so tomorrow will hurry up and get here! Going to be packing my hospital bag today, I know they have lists here and in my personal papers....Will be reading up on that. I ain't going to a beauty contest, so I really am not to worried about it.

I hope I have enough creamy stuff to last today as I won't be going to town until tomorrow.....remember I live up in the mountians, don't get to town everyday. All the demons are pretty quiet in my head today,can't think of much else to say!

PEACE OUT till later

KELLY:biggrin:

Hey all my fellow August Rushers,

Along with this great site I have gotten a lot of positive energy and encouragement from Gloria and Sandi .

They have had long term success and don't mind sharing so come and join us over there too.

Being so close to surgery I'm perusing the net for all the insight and support and encouragement I can get.

Preparing... :wub: so fun! ;) it usually takes me a few days just to place the furniture how I want it... Nevermind the set-up and decorating!!!... Apparently I am WAY excited b/c the furniture set-up is COMPLETE! Heh.... Bring on the band! :)

Hi all! I am being banded on August 10th! I am on day 4 of an all liquid pre op diet. It really hasn't been that bad. I'm excited to be finally on my way of permanent weight loss! This site has been fantastic for gathering information and support...and I cant wait for that to continue! Emsey, do you live in Belgium? That is where I met my husband....and a beautiful country. I look forward to seeing all of the hope and possibilities ahead of us!

No I'm in the UK.. going over to Belgium on Wednesday for 4 nights... on my own! bit nervous!

Its much cheaper over there than the UK and the hospitals are just as good.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
