Shy' date=' do you think you have nausea from the anethesia? I get like that from being put out.[/quote']

Touria is the one nauseated not me! I'm not banded till may 18th. But yeah I think she is nauseated from the anesthesia.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that! No worries though. They did what was best. Try not to worry to much and I'm praying everything works out and you're banded once all the test are done and you have the ok to go thru the surgery.

Thanks for clarifying that Shy, I am sorry. I am sorry Michelle about the heart messing you up today. Will they check it again tomorrow? I would be upset too.

The Month pic taking I thought would be cool. I will put a full body pic of me before. I will have my hubby take one of me. Then in a month after my surgery another one...I personally want to see my difference. Good luck ladies and gents!

Hi everyone! As I posted before my surgery is may 11 and I am really struggling with my preop diet (protein shakes and a few veggies ONLY) although it's been so difficult and I'm on day 7 of my preop diet..I HAVE LOST 10lbs!!!!! In one week!! :) so happy!! Whenever I'm starving I just remember my dedication to following the rules and the success is shown on the scale!!! Im hoping for another 5-10lbs this week before my surgery! Anyone else have success like this on the 2week preop diet??!

Hi. I too am kind of struggling with the liquids only. I wish I could have veggies. I'm only on day 2 and I just want to vomit from all the liquids. I'm trying to keep my mind focused on why I'm doing this.

Congrats on your weightloss! That's awesome! Keep up the good work. You have just inspired me. How many shakes areu having a day?

Love the idea of posting our pics in a month. I still need to take full body pre op pictures.

I am so sorry!! Was your heart rate just too fast or do you have a heart condition? This is just a hiccup and I know everything will work out for you.

Just want to clarify my previous post. I did not partake of the Breakfast, ice cream or pizza - I faithfully stayed on my pre-op diet.

I'm so proud of you! Very Good Job! :D:):rolleyes::P:D

Today is day 10. I have 8 more days to go. :(

I'm going to stop telling people that I'm having lap band surgery. They've been telling me that they know people who had it done and gained back the weight and someone else told me that they knew someone who had it done and it didn't turn out well at all. Arrrgggh. That's not what I want to hear right now as I'm starving to death.

omg that's another reason why I'm not telling anyone!

Yeah I'm not telling anyone either! Don't want to hear any negativity, period! I've done my research and I know the risk. My risk-benefit analysis tells me there are more benefits than possible risk. So glad I have all of you to be encouraging :-))

Glad to see you're doing ok. Did you Dr give your the Phengen gel ( you rub it in on your wrist) for nausea? My surgery is May8th....I'm so excited and nervous all at the same time. I can't stay off this website...reading everyone's stories is inspirational.

No they just gave me the behind The ear sticker...good luck to u!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
