Got banded on Friday July 5! I actually have a gym at my complex that I use. But after 6 weeks of full healing and release from my doctor then I am getting a personal trainer . By then I would have had my fill and will b good to go . I know where Dynamic is. Was thinking of this boxing gym on Hwy 6 . Or LA fitness...

After your last appt with true results , your surgeon office will call to set up your pre op appt. who is doing your surgery ? Dr. Reilly did mine. He's amazing !

I also will have dr. Reilly. Let me know if you end up training at dynamic fitness. ... I strongly recommend Nick. I'd have to look up his last name. I think there may be two Nicks.

I felt fine. I had no pain just from the gas. I was able to drink my Clear Liquids from day one. You are just 3 days out so your stomach is still swollen and you aren't suppose to drink per say but take sips. What do you mean you are unable to drink anything? You have no appetite or it comes up when you drink?

Ladies I am so happy my fill is 3 days away. I tell you once that swelling goes down from the surgery you are back to your old self cause you can eat anything. Try to be good and make good choices so you don't gain the weight back before your fill. I pray I hit that green zone with this first fill.

The trainers are $ 30 per half hour if you sign up for 12 months. I can't remember the other options. ... that is the one I went with.... so 19.99 a month for membership and $120 per month for trainer. Honestly the trainer is what makes my time at the gym worth while. I also signed my granddaughter up for a membership. She is 6. They have class twice a week. She does kick boxing, dancing, and a bit of yoga. Its super cute to watch and keeps me motivated to have a workout buddy. She and I go Monday and Wednesday, then I meet with Nick on Friday. I am setting myself up for success by setting aside time that is scheduled for the gym. That way I don't cop out if I have a headache or feel droopy. I still have to go! Im tentatively scheduled for sept 6 band day :) nicks number is 832-527-0215 you might be able to work with him outside of the gym.

Hi cassandra. Congrats on the band! Are you in sugar land too? I hope you hit green zone easily. How long was it before you could drive ? I am trying to plan how long to take off from work. Secretary.

Hi there, no I am not in Sugarland I am on the NE side of Houston. I drove the third day. I am lucky because im a teacher and have the summer off. I hear everyone say just listen to your body. I am a hard head and cant be down long but if you feel up to it and don't have to do a lot of walking and heaving lifting or on your feet for long periods of time do what you need to do . You know what I mean

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
