Recommended Posts

I just finalized mt husbands surgery date with Dr. Kuri for April 19th! He's never had surgery[ He's 51] before and he's scared to death! He wants it so bad that I know he will be brave when the time comes! When he goes down for his first fill, I plan on having the surgery too. Is anyone out there going down to Mexico at that time???Would love to talk to anyone that is!We are counting the days!!! sheree a.

Hi Sheree! I too am scheduled for April 19, here in Texas! How is your DH doing on his pre surgery dieting?? I am eating tons of Protein, but I am worried that I am eating too much Protein, even though I am allowed to eat regular portions. I am supposed to eat 6 times a day, and I am shocked that I am able to eat that much!!

I am also supposed to exercise 6 days a week for 30-45 minutes. I am doing pretty good with that one, but sometimes it is tough to be tired and know that you still have to exercise before you call it a day. SO I am gonna exercise on my lunch break today and see if that helps.

All of this dieting is kinda hard to do without the band yet, but I know it is preparing me for "the big day". AND I have learned that it is possible to live without pop and bread.< /p>

Best of luck to ya'll.

Kathi

HI THERE, maybe is irrelevant but I am being banded on April 18, in New Zealand. it is great how you are both ( your hubby and you) going thru' this together, I wished i had someone to share this with you are so lucky! When I posted on this site no-one had the same date, but now they are all coming out of the wood-work so to speak! Here in NZ you must make a date well in advance, but people don't seem to on these sites, can you book suddenly or is it more a case, that people book then suddenly discover this site?

Good Luck on the 18th! Yes, we are lucky to be doing this at the same time,well, it will be a month or so between our surgeries. If you have the operation in the States,it takes awhile to book your date but in Mexico they had openings fairly soon, I think that is because that's just about all they do there.I wished that I would of had this done when I was young like you but I guess,better late then never!Keep in touch and let us know how you are doing O.K.? bye, Sheree a.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
