Surgery Date 11/22 Anyone Else?!?!



Recommended Posts

No I have a surgeon in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I went to GNC today to pick up some protein/whey powder for my post op Protein drinks. It was quite an experience! There's a lot to choose from out there.

Will be banded on the 22nd as well. The reality of it all happening so soon is beginning to make me

anxious as _ _ _ _!!! (HELL)

Never had surgery or general anesthesia. So nervous!

I didn't have a pre op diet, so I have been eating all of the things that I know that I wouldn't be able to eat post band!

Looking toward a thinner, healthier future!

I would like to wish all of the future bandsters (especially those on 11/22) good luck and a uneventful recovery! ;)

Hi,

My surgery date is December 1, 2010. I started my pre op diet yesterday. I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache! I am not feeling too well. I am haiving Protein Drinks 3 daily with lots of Water, some Jello and I make my Protein drinks with skim milk. Do you feel better after a few days? Good luck to you!

Dear November Bandsters! Good luck to everyone having their surgery tomorrow!!! I will know tomorrow if I go in on Monday at 7:30 am or not...problem with my insurance. If not, then it will be Dec. 7th...may be a good thing if it is Monday, since I am so nervous...and it will be a surprise!! Just got the book Bandwagon and its a God send, as you all are to me...a lot of good advise and information. The more we know the better...God bless!

Hi There! I too went to GNC and got Isoopure's liquid Protein which I found to be much more palatable. I am also getting banded on November 22nd... three more days! Please stay in touch and good luck with recovery!

dear soundman: I grew up in providence rhode island and went to school in massachusetts. Where in ri are you from? I am also getting banded on november 22nd... Just three more days! I didn't have to do the preop either so i have been eating my way through each day with a sadness and relief at the same time that i will never have to see these foods in these portion sizes again. Where are you getting banded? What hospital? Good luck to you and safe recovery! Stay in touch.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
