Tomorrow's the big day...



Recommended Posts

After lurking for about a month, i finally decided to post something. I'm going in tomorrow at 9:30 in the morning to finally get banded. I am a 40 year old single dad to two of the best daughters ever (of course I may be a little biased). I've struggled with my weight for most of my adult life and finally decided that it was time to take control of my life and be comfortable in my own skin again. I'm going into surgery at 5'11" and 321 lbs. with a bmi of 40. I'm not so much nervous as I'm anxious and ready to be healthy. I also wanted to thank everyone here for all the support and kindness that I've seen. Just reading the threads has really helped me to alleviate some of my concerns and answer a lot of questions. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better as I start my journey.

Pitboss, I had my surgery May 6th, and haven't regretted it for a minute!! I hope you have the same experience. I feel wonderful, and still have 30 pounds more to lose. It is work, but it is worth it!

God Bless! Keep us posted!

I was also banded May 6th but have only lost 23 lbs. I can't belive how much weight you have lost... I thought I would have lost a whole lot more by now...can you please tell me what your daily diet consists of? I started at 218 and I am now 196. Any advice would help...PS I have 6.2ccs in a 10cc band.

      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'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.
