APinkSaprano--Tomorrow is my big day too! My surgery is at 7:30am and luckily I only have to travel about 5 minutes. I hope that everything goes well for you, keep us updated!

Karen and Angela--Thank you for the compliments, we should all start posting pix of ourselves so we can get to put a face to all of the wonderful words everyone types!

Angela--That is so awesome how you kept your MS at bay with holistic remedies, maybe I need to get your advice on how to help out my daily headaches with holistic remedies!

Good luck on yor surgery! And of course i will help you with any problems as I am able to... I think a new way of eating will probably solve the headache factor...let's talk after your surgery. You will do GREAT!!!!!:clap2:

We do need to post some pics soon...even if they are not that flattering...:nervous

Let us know how things are after surgery!:)

Good luck to those getting banded this week! You'll do great!

Sorry I haven't updated since my surgery on 11/2. I've been staying with my mom. The surgery went well, but I had to stay an extra night because they couldn't do the swallow study because I was allergic to the iodine. Since I tolerated liquids well, they let me go home the second day.

My incisions look good except one is red, but I don't think it's infected. I lost 15 pounds at my 2-week checkup. :clap2: I was really excited about that. I'm thrilled to be on soft foods now. I was starving on liquids and now it fills good to have something solid in my stomach. :hungry: Now if I can just get past the head hunger I'll be doing okay.

Thanks for thinking of us! I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet. I've lost 1 1/2 lbs, tomorrow I go to the hospital a 7am. I'm nervous about what my life will be like after tomorrow and hope I'm one of those people who has success with the band. Best of luck to all.

Thank you...just a little bit to let everyone know they're in my thoughts.

Mentioning that...has anyone heard from our three missing banders from the first two weeks of this month? I was hoping they would have checked in by now. Ladies, I hope you are doing well...check-in if you get a chance!

Ok, I was banded Nov. 3, and I'm only down about 10 pounds. Granted, I've cheated a bit, but I really have been good overall. I feel so bad.

I am going to hit the gym some more, but I just feel like my doc is going to be disappointed when I go in for my first fill. Plus, everybody around me knows I got this surgery, so lots of people are asking me for a weight loss count every other day. I wish I had kept my mouth shut.

Arrggggghhhh..

Hi November Bandsters!

I did my first walk on treadmill today -- felt good! I just hate to do it I don't know why, but I know it is a change I need to make.

I am still on the pureed liquid diet. Only hunger is head hunger and that for some reason hits between 7 and 9 P.M.

I did have chicken enchilada Soup from Chilis -- brought home and aded the cheese and put it into the blender. It was great!

It is great to hear from everyone as they check in. Best Wishes to all!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
