Just home, sore & tired but that's about it..feel much better then when I first woke up! No gas pains so far, thankfully but I'm prepared if it starts. Can't get enough water/ice chips, mouth so dry & scratchy from tube. Going to take nap, thanks for all the well wishes! And to my buddies, YAY we did it!! It only gets better from here... :D

Hi ya Buddy. Congratulations. I got home yesterday had to spend the night, surgery went well but they got back logged and I could not get my upper GI until yesterday and my prostate had a reaction to the anesthesia and swelled cutting off urine flow - I love my catheter.

I can't believe I get banded tomorrow! I have to call the hospital sometime after 2 to get the time for in the morning. Everyone I told about my decision up until Monday supported me. I told my pastor about my plans and he's 100% + against me doing it, although he did say he would support me regardless of what I choose. I emailed him yesterday and told him I would go through with it but he didn't reply and when I seen him yesterday he said nothing about it ( not sure if he checked it or not) and I've been having these really strange dreams. I need some encouragement on a serious note.

Motivated, its normal to have these feeling and even strange dreams. Remember why you are doing this. I think what happens is that people around us are afraid of changes. Once they see how happy and healthy you've become they will start to come around and be more supportive.

Sending good vibes and prayers your way for your surgery tomorrow. Keep us posted on your progress, you have lots of support here (((hugs)))

Four hours to lift off. Can't wait. Just want some Water. Nothing after midnight and surgery isn't till 1:30. I had bad low blood sugar reactions on no sugar liquid 3 day diet. Tell your Dr. if you are hypoglycemic. Had to load up on Snapple. Lost 10lbs though in 3 days. That's a big motivation.

Will let you know how it goes.

      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.
