I'm getting banded Nov 22nd as well. Excited, nervous and a ball of emotion. They have me on a slim fast and Water diet for 4 weeks and I'm struggling. 4 slim fast and 64oz of water a day that's it. Ugh rough times but glory days ahead..

They haven't said anything like that to me just an Atkins type diet. I see the doc on the 8th to get all that however I'm starting early. I watched the surgery on YouTube its amazing and the purpose of the high protien diet is to shrink the liver which practically covers the stomach.

      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.
