Anyone Getting Banded In July?



Recommended Posts

Hey I on the 17th as well !!!! Yeah !!! 5 more days ... I am NERVOUS !!!!

I hear ya, I had my last shift at work and now I'm just getting ready.....shopping for all that I need so I don't have to do anything but heal! lol Cleaning ahead, laundry ahead of time...How's the pre-op diet going? Today is the 1st day I'm hungry for food, but it's probably because I'm actually sitting still...I'm nervous too, if I think about the actual surgery itself, so I'm just going to preoccupy my mind with things to do! :)

I'm on the 25th as well. Im not required to do the 2 week of liquids, though I may do it the week before anyway. Good luck to everybody , I can't wait till I'm on the flipside of this procedure. The anticipation is the worst part :) the pre op life style change has been great though, lost 24 pounds on my own since February . Just by really clean eating & eliminating anything processed. Have a great weekend guys...

What I would do for a turkey burger or turkey hot dog, lol. Man, I want some beef or chicken, might have to have something to get rid of this "want"...Staying busy is the only way to get thru this and make it Tuesday already! lol I'm waiting on my Prescriptions as we speak for surgery and then hitting Walmart for my list of needs, maybe splurg and buy some 45 calorie turkey dogs! I totally understand how nervous you are, it's nice to have people that really understand! Hope you have a good day! :)

      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.
