My Surgery Date Is Aug 16Th!



Recommended Posts

I'm really excited! I can't stop thinking about it, I'm very very impatient when it comes to things like this. Any advice to what I can start working on. My pre op diet is on the 2nd. I'm nervous about not getting the right things to eat. Plus I want a buddy!

I haven't been banded yet but my sister has and she's given me a few pointers. For instance, stock up on Protein Shakes, gas x, broths, start taking Multivitamins, calcuim and Biotin (if you fear Hair loss after surgery) start watching your calorie and sugar intake. MyFitnessPal is a wonderful tool for this. My dietician also recommended watching how quickly i eat. I think she said ever meal should take 15 minutes to complete. Not sure if that was solids or every stage. Last but not least CHEW CHEW CHEW! Hope this helps.

Congrats!! My biggest advice - stick to your pre and post-op diets. They are sooo important.

Once I got past Atkins, liquids, and mushies - finding the right portion size and choosing healthier food is somewhat difficult b/c I just wanted to eat something, anything!! Until you reach the green zone, it is mind over matter. You will feel full faster, but still be hungry more often than 3meals-a-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.
