Hello all of my fellow Feb bandsters!... I'm four days out and still pretty sore around my port area. I haven't had pain med since my second day out so it's not that bad. I think I have gas/bloatness more today than any. The surgery date comes and it's goes and If you have searched this out enough you know your doing the right thing even though I'm always second guessing myself. I have lost 16 lbs as of this morning and don't have much of an appetite. Good Luck to all of you! See you on the other side. :clap2:

Glad to hear you are doing well for the most part wanna be thin. Like you said I do second guess myself to make sure that I am doing the right thing. I still haven't told my parents. Plan on telling them today i hope. I don't plan on telling anyone--i'm really a private person. I know that i will get to a point that i will share-but not today.

I don't really have much to hide, but sometimes I wish I wouldn't have told everyone. Really the only people I told was family and friends, but we live in a small town and it spread fast. Most people seem happy for me and want to know my experience. I'm sure there are some out there watching ever move just waiting on me to mess up..... but o'well..... That's life. I came back to work on Monday after having the surgery on Friday so I couldn't see myself hiding much there. I'm sure everyone could tell I was walking a little stiffer. Good luck to you and it's your choice.

Hi all. I am new to all this and just wanted to say hello to all the February bandsters. I too will be having my surgery this month on the 15th. The support here is great and I will continue receiving and giving as my journey progresses.

Just one question. I'm sure it's been posted elsewhere, but can anyone give any suggestions on a low-cal Protein Shake that tastes somewhat okay. I haven't bought any yet, for fear they will be disgusting.

Good luck to everyone out there who is beginning their new life this month.

Hello! Good luck to all of the Feb. bandsters. I have been on this website daily for several months now. I finally decided to take control of my life and I have scheduled surgery with Dr. Ortiz on Feb.19th. Thank you to all of the people who share their stories so openly, it really gave me the courage to DO something. Good luck to everyone!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
