Banded on November 21st. They found a hernia during the procedure and repaired it. I am feeling really good. Today is my last day of Clear liquids. I am looking forward to full liquids tomorrow. Since I won't be eating on Thanksgiving, I am certain to take lots of pictures of our family. I am so excited about my future. I had surgery with Dr. Ortiz in Mexico, and it was a great experience.

:D

Congrats, Oregon Rocks. We were banded on the same day.:) I started full liquids on day three. I only had to stick to clear for forty-eight hours. Funny how different docs have slightly different rules and procedures.

Here is my blog that I started as a personal diary of my journey thus far. I started it in August when I scheduled my surgery for NOVEMBER 21st,

You're on my list, thank you. :D I am in Arizona. Prescott, a largish "small" town north of the Phoenix Metro area. It pretty much sucks, here. The only reason why we stay, husband has a steady job with good benefits. Nothing to sneeze at in this economy! LOL

I am also excited for us both. Sistah Bandstahs. :D

I find myself looking at the clock and calculating whether or not is time to eat again. As far as the food, I'm having 4 shakes and one soup. I actually look forward for my soup since it's the only savory dish that I'm allow to eat. The other day I had the low fat chicken noodle soup from Panera bread, I blended it and it was delish!!

Congratulations! I wish I was in Mexico right now -- it's freezing here in NH! Enjoyed looking through your blog. Great to be able to look back and measure your progress on so many levels -- not just the number on the scale but all those other ways we are changing our lives for the better.

Icy One, we lived in Prescott briefly. My husband refers to it as the time we were abducted by aliens.

Hope every one is doing well. I am three weeks out tomorrow and feeling GREAT! Better than in years.....

I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow (Tues, Nov. 26). Wish me luck! I've never had surgery of any sort before; very new experience. And I hope all you other Nov. people are doing well.

Hi there, I had never spent a night in the hospital before -- guess this was the perfect thing to break my record for because I am so happy to be banded! I'm glad I did a lot of walking. I think that was my body shrugging off the anesthesia and starting the healing process. Also glad I didn't do the prescription medication but that's just me. Good luck to you tomorrow! That is my three week anniversary and I have not felt this good in years. Yes, initial discomfort following surgery but having been in real pain the incisional stuff and even that shoulder pain from the gas felt so temporary and worthwhile. You'll do great!

To ERAOUL,

Good Luck Tomorrow! I was banded on the 14th and I just had to take it easy the 1st day after surgery. Just take it slow, follow Dr's advice and look forward to a new wonderful future!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
