I go in tomorrow for my band and I haven't had a full nite sleep since last Friday.

I know that feeling! I tried to put myself to sleep with Tylenol PM and the chicken Soup Protein mix by Unjury today. . . It didn't work! Lol I just can't wait. . . I am so ready for this journey!

Good luck to you! After 4 months of following this forum and 1 cancelled surgery I met with my anesthetist this morning. No issues! My surgery is scheduled this Friday 16 Nov at 0800 Pacific time. I too am very nervous and anxious but I can't wait!

Well day two of fourteen liquid only. When this is over I may never drink a shake again. I am allowed three shakes a day with skim milk and 1 cup of broth to cut sweetness lol dosen't work that well. Get scoped this Friday and meet anesthesiologist then the 25th is dday. I have talked to several Co workers that have had this and are doing great they really cheered me up and made me feel i made the right choice. 1 friend lost 175 pounds which is kind of my goal and he gave me a lot of pointers. Thank God for that. For the first time in a while I really feel like I am making the right choice and I am very excited now. I was looking at pictures of myself back in the day and I can't wait to look like that again come on 180. Good luck to us all I'm praying for everyone!

I have been absent … imagine my shock to see nearly 400 posts! Wow!

I had some setbacks w/ pre-op testing.

Just my luck, a very ambitious doctor threw me through every test imaginable and I just NOW got clearance for my Lap! Yeah!

I will find out in a few days what my surgery date will be, but I now know that I will not be on the November 'band'wagon … soooo I guess I need to start something for December! LOL! My surgery date will possibly be the 18th … I hope … we shall see!

So how are all of you doing!?!? I have a lot of reading to catch up on! :)

Most of us on this particular thread are PRE-OP. . .so we can't sleep because we are filled with anticipation of being on the other side of the surgery. . . We want to be like you, "already banded"! Lol

      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? 🤷‍♀️
