Ladies! Despite being older than you (40), and a guy, everything else applies to me... I, too, was banded on March 27th. Things are going well! We should all watch each other's progress since it's as close to an "apples to apples" as we can find, at least as it pertains to timelines.

I also was banded on March 27th :) I'm excited to take this journey with you. I'm 4 days post op and down 9 lbs. I had my surgery done in Pittsburgh Pa, which is near my West Virginia home.

That's awesome, I can't wait, I am so excited. :)

Im day 5 post op(banded monday). Last night was the first time I could drink a full 8 oz of the Protein Shake without feeling absolutely sick. Lol. I also weighed myself this am and am down 5 pounds since Monday. I do dream of eggs n cheese though but I trust there is a reason my dr has me on yogurt, shakes, amd Soup for 2 weeks. I have been drinking Water all day and walking.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
