I had my preop yesterday afternoon. We did a bunch of paperwork and we talked about my preop and postop diet. I think it has really started to sink in that I am going to do this. I left the surgeon's office in a bit of a daze. It's hard to believe that in 2 weeks I will be banded!

Fellow Mayer jumping in here!

I'm going to be banded on May 9th with Dr. Hugh Houston in Nashville, TN. I have my pre-op and dietican stuff next Monday, April 24th. I'm very, very excited to move on with my life. I want to be active and comfortable and off all of the darn meds I take.

My big struggle will be head hunger. I'm working outside more to keep me away from the kitchen. I'm finding as long as I stay busy and away from the television I'm not as likely to snack.< /p>

Good luck and positive vibes to everyone!

Marianne

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
