Hello to all,

I am a young guy at 27 and am trying to get my health back on track. This April I weighed in at 416 and was finally fed up with my weight. I am an active person and am always out and about doing but I have always found it hard to feel satisfied after eating. I am hoping the band helps me with that problem. Since April I am down to 372 and I have gotten rid off almost all red meat (once or twice a month now) and all white starches from my diet.

I'm having my band placed tomorrow morning... (26 hours). I am currently on Clear liquids only and am STARVING! It doesn't help that I play Ice Hockey and that I just finished a game earlier. I find myself ready but a little nervous but excited about my long term health and how much faster I could be on the ice if I can drop the extra weight.

Any other younger people/ younger guys on here?

I understand your situation. I have the same problem. Up until recently I worked out frequently but when I would eat it would take a tremendous amount of food to make me feel full. I will be having my surgery on 11/10 and I am very excited. I'm impressed that a big man like yourself is playing hockey. 372 pounds skating around the ice is no joke. Good luck on your surgery :). If you're a Ducks fan, sorry about the shoot out last night. GO BLACKHAWKS!

I've been captain of a team for almost 5 years... Being big has its advantages but I would far rather be a bit quicker and be able to get around better. At these weights I feel bad for my skates!

My boys came out flat footed after Sharps goal, they were pulling for a single point not pushing to get 2... and after hearing about the Blackhawks recent shoot out problems I had a feeling they would be extra motivated to get that monkey off their back!

You know what, I really don't mind our shoot out problems. What I can't stand is our lack of ability to score when we're on the power play. It's disgusting. Every time we go on the power play everybody gets all excited and I'm like "who cares?". Nothing good ever comes of it, we score more when the other team is at full strength.

Bobby Ryan is THE MAN! I love that guy!

The Hawks may not score on the PP but their affinity for scoring shorthanded keeps everyone on their toes.

Sitting at work right now untill 5am... So hungry... Surgury tomorrow at 6am..

Hi Ducks. I'm not a young guy, but I wanted to wish you the best of luck tomorrow. I'm scheduled for surgery in 7 days and it kind-of scares me that I don't really have a personal mentor yet. Anyway, best of luck & keep us posted!

      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.
