Welcome and Congratulations on your upcoming band date. Your journey begins..

I do my pre-register at hospital on Aug 3. My surgery is scheduled on Aug 6. I've lost at least 27 pds and I'm hoping to lose over 30 pds by Aug 3. I can hardly wait and I am very anixous for my band. This tool will make it easier to lose the weight and not be on a yo yo effect on my weight. I've completely changed all my eating habits to get ready for band date. I hope you continue giving us followup rfeports after your band is out in place.

Best wishes and enjoy this great forum.

Welcome Angie! This forum has tons of people with loads of information to help make your transition to banded life easier. The search feature can assist in finding answers and should that not work completely, just ask. Great job on your weight loss so far.

To the new people - Angie, Sibley and Roja - welcome to the website. This is a great place and a great place to find support. All three of you sound like you have done well on your pre-op diet and this week/next week is your big days. Woo Hoo...

I have been banded a year and I feel great. somehwere out there is 100 pounds that I have lost - I have about 40 more to go. I love/hate my band, but that is the same with anything in life. Sure, I miss certain foods that I can no longer have, but I sure don't miss that 100 pounds of blubber ! Good luck to all three of you - stay in touch and let us know how you are doing.

About the Protein shakes.. we all feel your pain. Just keep looking for one YOU like. You won't have to drink them all the time. I have about 1 or 2 a week and then for 1 day following a fill - It does take time ( and you will waste a bunch) but hopefully you will find one you actually like.

Have a great week and welcome to the family !

      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.
