How exciting!!! I am getting banded tomorrow also. Where will your surgery take place. I am flying to Mexico this afternoon. I will be having the surgery along with 2 friends on the same day. What are you feelings today?????? I am so calm and ready. The way I see it.... I have done a lot of praying about this and I truely believe this is what the Lord wants for me (health wise). :) :) :) Keep me post on your journey.

Counting the Hours,

2 Days Post-Op, I am feeling pretty good, but looking bad as far as alot of bruising where insisions are. I have had a lot of gas but used the gasx strips that you place on your tounge to disolve them. I haven't had that much pain but my Dr. gave me a liquid pain reliever that knocks me right out. Anyway looking forward to ending this week one clear diet. Thanks for all of your kind words and support.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
