JUNE 18th...LAST SUPPER...Off to Bandersville



Recommended Posts

YEA, YEA, YEA GLORY TO GOD!!!! I received a call saying that my insurance approved lap band surgery. God really confirmed that this is right for me. I asked him to have the surgery on June 17th (not realizing that this was a Sunday). The doctor's officed said that June 18th is available....Isn't God good? I'm a teacher and He worked it so that I will be on summer vacation--no days missed from school!!!!

There's only 1 down side--and it's really not that bad: I live in Dallas, and I insurace said that I have to go to Decater (1 and half hour drive) for surgery!! But, I'd drive 2 days to have the band if necessary!!!

I'm inviting my "LAST SUPPER"---where did you eat?

I'll be a member of the June Banster's soon......

Congratulations on your date!! I am day 4 since banding so just starting to feel better. One of my last meals was a burger with all the fixings but I was also on my pre-op diet so I did it a couple of weeks before surgery.

Good Luck!

Welcome BigBaby :wave:

It's great that you don't have to take off any days for surgery! God IS good!

I'm being banded on June 1st and just started my liquid pre-op diet today. My "Last Supper" of sorts, was at The Prime Quarter where I had the yummiest terriyaki steak! Did that last Tuesday. Funny thing, last night, I thought I would kind of "panic" and want to shove every thing in my mouth that I could find. BUT, that wasn't the case at all! I was too excited about surgery being so close and the pre-op diet was like the starting gate!

Well, come join us over in the "June 2007" thread!

I am ashamed to say I must have had like 10 last suppers. For about 2 weeks before banding I went and ate a huge plate at like every one of my favorite resturants.

Aww thanks!!!! I have been working my butt off for this weight. Exercise is key. I don't care what anyone else says you have to do something everyday. I hated so much when I started and now I am starting to love it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
