Hello from San Antonio



Recommended Posts

:)Hi to all you bandsters. I will be getting banded in about 5 weeks. Not sure of the exact date yet. Pre-op is June 7 and surgery about a week after.

My doctor is Dr. Paresh Rajajoshiwala here at The Wish Center in San Antonio. I have heard great things about this center so I am extremely excited.

I started a 6 meal diet high protein/low fat this past Thursday and have started changing my eating habits now to be prepared after surgery. Not looking forward to a liquid diet but I'll do what I have to do.

I have read so much on this web site and feel very much reassured about the choice I have made.

I want to say Thank you to all of you for sharing, you have kept me informed and I'm sure that will continue.

Hope to hear from ya'll--I'm excited to start this adventure in my life with a great web site like this one.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
