I am three weeks from being banded, and will start my pre-op on Feb 18th so technically I have one week left as "the old me." I'm just curious what you would say was your one regret from before you were banded (I'm not talking about the band being a regret, I'm talking about wishing you had _[fill in the blank]___ one last time before the band) or what you are glad you made time for before your banding.

I'm so excited my mind is racing right now!!! I don't want to forget anything!

Well, my surgery is in 12 days, and I too am trying to get all my "lasts" in just in case. Had my last pizza, last bag of chips, last DQ Blizzard... This weekend I'm hitting up the best steakhouse in town for my last filet mignon. ;) It's not sad really, for me to think of these things as all "lasts" i see it as exciting because these are the things that really made me heavy in the first place. LOL

My only regret was waiting so long to do it!

Also, never say never. After losing a lot now I have learned to listen to my NUT and do eat great food still, just more cautious and a he'll of a lot less. I would have a filet now, but only 2-3 ounces instead of 8! Hopefully you will make changes and enjoy food again, just differently.

Good luck. It is exciting!

I wish I would have known that it was going to be this hard. I never thought it would be easy but maintaining is really hard for me anyways.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
