I get banded tomorrow! Yippeee!! :clap2:I'm soooooo ready for this. I'm already feeling better having spent the past 2 weeks taking in a lot of Protein and totally cut out the potatoes, Pasta and breads (and I love them so much). Oh well -- time for a new way of eating.

I'm scheduled for noon. So by tomorrow night at this time, I guess I'll be recovering from all the gas pains ( or trying to)! :faint:

You all are great and such support. I'll be back on as soon as I can!!!! Have a great evening all!:)

Thank you so much! That means a lot. I'm passing the time right now by learning more on here. I'm not real crazy about not being able to have my coffee now, but I guess I'll have some when I get home this afternoon (maybe?).

Yep -- today is the first day of the rest of my new life. I'll keep you informed and thanks for the advice; I'll definitely take it!!!

Good for you. I am so jealous! What preparations do you need to do the day before? I'm sure you can't eat after midnight. Anything else? Like those fleet enemas? I hate those things so much it could almost prevent me from having the surgery! I said almost!

Congrats on going to bandland.....I hope you are doing well and that your surgery went well. I have my surgery on Monday June 18th so I guess I will see you on the other side. Best of luck.

Thank you guys -- Yes, I'm not officially a bandster! The only thing that hurts in where the port is. And I'm just now starting to get the gas pains below my ribcage and just below the shoulder in my back.

I'm so happy it finally is done!! and ShellQueen, the preps for the big day: I couldn't eat or drink after midnight and up until the surgery (I was scheduled for noon). My dr. said if you shower that morning, no perfumed soaps or shampoos. Wear loose clothing & slip on shoes to the hospital; that was pretty much it. Not a whole to prep for except the eating or drinking.

Good luck & I'm sure I'll be back for more questions & support. You are all a great bunch of people!

I'm probably going back to bed now -- didn't sleep well because I couldn't sleep on my left side without it hurting. And I don't do well on my back, so I'm having to adjust for now.

Have a great day all!!!

      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.
