Welcome Buckeyes!

I live in the Dayton area and had my band done at the Cincy Weight Loss Center. It's going great and I love my band so far. Check out the Ohio forum listed under local usa and the bottom of the main forum list for more Ohio contacts.

I am from Columbus,Ohio too!! I just scheduled my surgery and will have Ramos as my surgeon. My surgery date is March 26th. I go in on March 5th for pre-admission testing. I am not sure what all is involved in that but I am excited. I am trying not to get overly excited and have not talked to anyone on my team at work about it yet. I am sure I will need to eventually. I am so thankful that we have this chat site.

Does anyone have any good ideas of what to eat for Breakfast, lunch and dinner for the pre-op diet? Right now I am eating ff,sf yogurt for breakfast a low-fat cheese for a morning snack, either a sm salad or sm bowl of tuna for lunch and then afternoon nack is Special K bar and then a light dinner. I think dinner is going to be the worst part of my day to get thru especially eating with my husband but I need to suck it up and get over it. Does anyone have any good dinner ideas for me? I know I am rambling on and on but I really have no one to talk to about all of this stuff

Hi Chris,

We are neighbors. Not too many of us around here. Seems there are mostly C-bus people, but I love them. They are wonderful and welcoming.

PM me if you want to chat!

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
