Shesha,

How are things going with you?

Bill :hungry:

Hi Bill,

Thanks for asking!

Things are going great! I started my Pre-op diet today. I just have to do low carb for 10 days. So far, so good.

I am really starting to get excited. Don't get me wrong, I've had my "what the heck am I doing?" moments, but when I saw my before pictures that my hubby took for me yesterday....yikes...I am glad I am getting this done!!

How are things goin' with you???

Well, Shesha, for not having a date for the operation yet, I'm doing great! I started the pre-op diet, same as yours, low-carb.

It would be easier if I had a specific date to work towards, but so far I'm sticking to it, I've lost 10 pounds. The bad news is, my Surgeon said 50 would be ideal! :embarassed: So I've gotten thru the 'honeymoon' phase so far . . . .

I agree w/you about the pictures, (not yours silly), mine. I have a set of 'befores' before I started the diet. Yuck!

Stick to that diet, every ounce off helps!

Bill

Glad to hear you are doing so well! Low carb isn't bad. Just be thankful he didn't make you do optifast! Yikes!

Hopefully you'll have a date soon. It will definately help you stay focused.

I get my band in a few days. I am really excited, yet a tad aprehensive, which is expected I guess. I know I am making the right decision, and am fortunate that I am able to do this at a younger age and hopefully reduce the chances of developing the co-morbidities that my older relatives have.

Hi all!

I have my band! Everything went really well. I did "crash" after surgery and slept from 5:00 pm until 4:30 am when I had to get up to go potty.

So far so good. I have 5 incisions on my belly and they seem to be healing well. Just a little itchy. My tummy feels better today too. At first, it felt like you did a ton of crunches. But today, just a little tenderness on the stomach side.

Congrats on getting your band date!

Things are going very well. Thank you for asking! I healed up quickly and feel great! If I didn't have these scars on my belly, I wouldn't even know I was just banded!

My post-op restriction has pretty much left. I still have restriction, but it's pretty light. I've been comfortably eating around 1000 calories a day. My weight loss has kind of stalled. I have been stuck at 249 for a week now. But, I haven't gained, which is great.

The whole banding experience with Dr. K was wonderful. You'll really like him, the office staff and the people at the surgery center. Keep us posted on your journey!

btw.. where in Wi are you from? I am from near Wausau.

      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.
