My surgery date is May 25th! I am currently finishing day 2 of my pre op diet which so far is not going well at all. Mine is an all liquid 800 calorie diet. No solids, no veggies.. Two days in and I'm HUNGRY! I told my husband to hit a cow and bring it home... I'd suck the blood (its liquid!)... I even sucked on a cracker. SAD.

Anyway, I've been working on this from the first day I found out my husbands new insurance would cover it. I did my 6 month Dr. supervised diet (lost 30 pounds - gained 10 back), then had my Gall Bladder taken out. Then we waited for insurance. It was submitted in February, and approved just last week. I called my Doc's office Monday and got the OKAY to start my diet and have surgery in two weeks! WHOO HOO!

I do my pre-op testing on May 16th.

There are so many people on this site and so much to read, its nice to see that there are so many supportive people out there as well as others who will be traveling the same journey.

Best of luck to all!

Just seeing if anyone else is being banded in May. Our time is coming quickly and before we know it, it will be here.

Yes, my surgery date for my Lap Band Is On Thursday May 19th. I start my pre op liquid diet Tomorrow the 15th.

Best of luck to you and to all the May banders. Let's stay in touch ok?

I don't know how to do the ticker thing. But I will say I am 52 years old and I'm at 318 lbs and need to lose about 160 lbs. May God Bless Us All On Our Jouney

Hugs,

Rose

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
