Looking for June 2011 Bandits!



Recommended Posts

I am down for the 16th of June. My B-day is the 4th, I start the pre-op diet on the 2nd. I am not sure what I should feel; happy that I am almost there or sad that I will have to drink my birthday cake.........It's always a good day for change.:lol:

Twisting the day away,

My surgery is June29th... So technically I am a June Bandit however I am wondering if I should wait and go with the July Bandits since I am so far out? I am trying to avoid Optifast and am eating raw vegan until sugery. So I am glad to have the month to play with.

Looking for any June 2011 bandits!! My date is June 20th and looking for fellow bandsters to keep me company! I could use support and hopefully I can help support someone else! :)

I am scheduled for my surgery tomorrow (6-2-11) and I have to admit that the 2 week Pre-op diet is rather stressful, but when I started to feel hungry, I would engulf myself in work or doing things around the house or go for a walk. Takes your mind off of the hunger and I drank lots of Water. I treated myself to a snack everyday for the sake of chewing so that I would not bite somebody in the house (LOL), I now know why supermodels are so angry... THEY'RE HUNGRY!

.. I would buy the crystal light packs that you put in the bottle of Water and put it in the freezer after I mixed it up to get it all slushy and that was my treat on the daily to keep my mouth moving and something about it just gave me a sense of satisfaction since I was chewing.. Try it and good luck.

Hi everyone. I am going to be banded on June 6th. I go today for my anesthesia meeting. I guess the anxiety and fears are starting to percolate their way through my system. A few days ago, I had some really serious doubts about getting this done. I’ve been doing the liquid Protein shake diet now for a couple weeks and have already lost 20 pounds. I figured I could just keep going on my own, but I know that I spent a long time deliberating about this decision, and I know this is the best for me in the long run. Also, I’ve worked very hard, and gone through many flaming hoops to get to this point (even switched surgeons and changed practices during the pre-op-approval time). I wish you all good luck in your procedures, and I just can’t wait to get mine over with. Sunday night is going to be a looooong night! :D

We have the same surgery date!! (Ok I don't know why that's so exciting but it is :rolleyes: ) What kind of pre-op diet will you have to do?

It is exciting! I have no pre-op plan so far, but I go in for my blood work-up on the 14th and I'll have to see what they say then. Good luck to you.

      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!!
