Hi guys! I am new to this site. Just banded on September 19th by Dr. Spivak in Houston. So far this has been a mysterious yet marvelous experience. I just wanted to thank you for having such an organized and informative site. I am quite a ways away from Houston and so have found this site to be one of my first go-to places when I am confused or curious about what is happening. Again, thanks!

Welcome Lisalee,

I adore this site as well, so I know exactly how you feel.

Have you found your september 2006 bandsters thread? It is where you share your experience with people in the exact same phase that you are going through. I found my August Bandsters to be irreplacable. There are over 110 of us in August 2006 alone.

The best feature I found on this site is the "search". It is in the middle of the blue navigation bar on top. I just had a crisis myself yesterday and the info I found was priceless to help my situation.

Welcome lisalee!

      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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
