Hi Judy- My daughter is 3..I may have said 4 by mistake and yes she is why I had my c-section which I keep telling myself was a much bigger surgery than this. And yes time does fly...It seems like she was only just born yesterday or only that little 2 year old in my picture...tonight she gave me so many kisses....made me almost cry...she is so sweet. My nervousness is still there but less somehow and I just want it over and look forward to the new me. I survived the clear liquid diet today so that just makes me feel even more empowered in this journey!

I am sure your husband is just stressed with you and for you so I am sure he will be more supportive as time goes by and it not...that talk is a good idea. And I think it is hard for anyone to understand completely especially about your eating habits etc if they are not in your shoes. But I am sure he just wants what is best for both of you. And I feel the same way about not being able to do it without the band..I have tried so much...My husband said well if you can do the pre-op diet...can't you just keep doing that? I said no way...I can do it because there is an end to it and good things are coming..If I could just "do it", I already would have!

I'm off to try to get some sleep as I have to get up so early. Thanks for the thought and prayers.

i know that its getting close for you now... all the best. look forward to hearing from you on the banded side. take care.

I'm getting banded on Monday also! :) I have been laying in bed scared to death about what's going to happen. Im traveling out to get it done, i think the hardest part is leaving my dsughter for three days :'(

Hi all and thanks again for the support. I am officially banded and was soooo nervous but everything went great. I arrived at hospital @ 530 am and went into surgery about 8....we were able to leave hospital by 11 am so I was home before lunch time. Yesterday I hurt pretty badly and today I am more sore but its all worth it. I feel good enough today to go watch my daughter because it is her parent observation week in her dance class...that's pretty good to me...I can wait to get fully recovered and moving forth n my new life!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
