Hi there. My name is Tatiana I'm from Dallas, Tx. I'm scheduled for my LapBand on July 24th. This seems like a great group so I though I would join the chat. :)

I got my date. I get banded July 8th. I start preop diet tomorrow. I am really excited and a little nervous. :)

How was/is preop treating you? Your date is right around the corner! How exciting :)

I've decided to start my preop a week early, well a week and two days to be precise. I was eating so well and dropping weight slowly but went back to old habits and may have gained a few pounds. So I figured an extra week of preop won't hurt and will help in the long run :)

How is everyone going? It's already a week into July, it's crazy!

Thank you! Your the first person I have seen with the same date :). You know mostly just a lot of research and I have been reading a book true results have me. Mostly I'm just ready! I start my pre-op diet on the 10th. How about you?

Congrats to all of us for making this decision to better our lives. I finally have a surgery date of July 16th. I start my high Protein low card diet today until surgery. I am nervous and excited at the same time. But I have a great support system behind me and this forum is also very helpful.

Hi all, I was banded on the 1st July! So day 6 post op. Best thing I ever did so far! On liquid diet still and not much hunger at all. How is everyone getting on with their pre op diet? I had to do mine for 10 days prior to surgery xx

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
