Smokey,

Well, this is it! You are the first of our Feb banders to take the plunge.

I cannot wait to hear your surgery report. Remember: we don't expect you to hop back and post away but when you are up to it, just a quick note that tells us you are fine. You can even just send one of us a message and we will post it here.

I hope you have an easy surgery and recovery. I just know you are going to ROCK THAT BAND!

Best wishes!!

Elle.. LOVE the drummer dude! I'm a music FREAK!! Awwww...thanks guys..

Yah, I'm SO EXCITED!!!! But I do have in the back of my head him going in

there and then not doing the surgery! I haven't stuck "completely" to the liquid diet but i'm just having some protein..real meat..almost everyday since Sunday.. which I think is still fine according to "how to shrink your liver" So we'll see. I'm sure it will be fine..and I'm just being paranoid.. hell I haven't had a damn drink in over 2 weeks so that's an accomplishment in itself..:lol: But thanks everyone I'm really really excited.

I'm still waiting for them to call me back for my pre-registration.. hopefuly I go in at like 10am and not 4am! That's too damn early!:lol: What should I bring to the hospital?

They called earlier to tell me to be at the hospital at 10:30!!:Banane09: At least I can drop of my youngest at school and then go to the grocery store to pick up a few things for the kids while I'm gone..come home shower and be on my way! So nice to have a teenager..usually it isn't..:lol: he's picking up my youngest from school and babysitting for me so I know they'll be A-OK! I'm so excited!! I hate needles though..:lol:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
