Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I haven't been on in a while but I have come to be updated and to update others..

OMG I finally got my date :confused: My pre admission appointment is on the 4th of July and my operation date is the 12th of july...

I am so scared but so excited at the same time.. I have read and read and read up on the operation and the aftermath but I somehow feel so un prepared for it.. So any words of advice would be greatley appreciated let it be small or big please share..

Oh and also just a quick question.. Where do I find the liquid Vitamins? And what one do I ask for??

Oh and p.s Fee if your still around I got into Williamstown Hospital :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

Take care all and talk soon.. Im off to do more homework WooHooo

You will do fine. I feel great and I was banded last wednesday. I thought the surgery was the easiest thing I have ever done. (surgery wise). tiny sips...... i drank too much too fast the first few days and I madethe gas pains worse. I have learned...... Good luck.

Aww thanks guys.. It's appreciated..

I know in the end it's going to be all worth it.. And I don't even know what it is I'm scared of exactly.. Ive had surgery before (Gallbladder removal ) And that wasn't to bad and this is kinda similar right? Instead of taking something out they are putting something in.. I'm thinking the pain after surgery might be similar to that..

Maybe it's going to be the hugeeeeee lifestyle change.. I thought I was so ready for this but since I got my date I am absolutley shitting myself..Maybe just excitment and not knowing nerves.. I can't wait though I am counting down the days...

pplqueen I've read about that and my dietician has told me I am allowed to drink 30 mls every half hour.. Im such a drinks monster that's going to be the hard part I think..

Cheers guys and congrats on your weight loss

      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? 🤷‍♀️
