Surgery Is Monday



Recommended Posts

I have my surgery set for Monday Jan. 30th. @ 9am. I have to be at the hospital by 7:30am. I know i will eat again and I know I will eat everything o eat before the band just in a smaller more controlled portion. If this tool can help me with the snacking i do at night i am sure i will be succesful with it and with losing weight. will it stop me everynight no, wll it stop me 8 out 10 yeah probably i can live with that.

Last meals.... I had to do my last meal before my pre op diet so if you get one be sure and enjoy and say goodbye to over eating for the last time lol! This will be a great decision in your life so don't be scared it will be hard and wonderful all at the same time....when you see the scale moving and more importantly the clothes starting to hang on you just motivates you more! I started this journey wearing a 22 last February and now comfortably wearing a 14 and a 12 in some things! Good luck!

Hi! I was banded last Thursday and I have lost 19 pounds. The first post-op days were hard, but there was no desire to eat. You are right this is a tool only,and if you can keep that in the front of your mind I think I'l do good! Good luck!

Hi there, I recently had it done on Jan 18th 2012 and for the moment I am doing really well. Didn t get sick with nausea of vomiting at all (knock on wood) im am presently doing the mushy food. I finished the liquid diet stage so I moved on to the next level however i only have 30 lbs to lose I am impatient about that. Can t wait to have it all gone. This is a life time change and its gonna take a lot of work from our part but think of the results when you get to your goal. We will be very very happy. Good Luck.

After I got my final labs in Mexico they said I was free to eat whatever I wanted for my final meal. How lucky for me that they had the most fantastic steak lounge right across the street. It was the best meal in had ever had. And I got to have a margarita. Of course I know it will be a long time before I can have filet mignon again so maybe that is why it was so fantastic.

I had my surgery the next day around 9:30am and everything went fine.

Hey I had your exact weight, and bmi although I am once inch shorter. I had my surgery in Mexico but I have a friend whose insurance covered hers at 35 bmi but she had 3 weight related medical conditions. So you might qualify if you have medical issues.

My surgery is tomorrow. I am ready. Had a couple of cheats as well on the pre-op diet. What's bothering me more is that I am going to get my period tomorrow so I am retaining Water weight. I 10 lbs I lost on pre-op is looking more like 7lbs this morning. Lol.

Hello,

My surgery is Monday too. Scheduled for 9:45 arrival time 7:30. Today it's a diet of Clear liquids & non-fat milk. I also have to down a 10oz bottle of Magnesium citrate...uggh. Very excited about surgery and what is to follow. I have been waiting for this for close to a year. Insurance took me for a ride, they really know how to work it, but that's another story.

I have Zumba in my DVD and am reading Runner's World's 'Run your Butt Off.' I am soo ready for this. smile.png

      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? 🤷‍♀️
