I am off to be banded today! I am happy that it is here and scared at the same time. I have such high expectations of myself and hope that all will turn out great!

I only lost 8 lbs on the Optifast and was very good to stick to it.

Everyone has been so supportive and I thank everyone for that. Wish me well and will hopefully be able to post in the next couple of days.

Here we go on the ride of a lifetime!:clap2:

You go girl! I hope all goes well. An online friend of mine is going to be banded today, too. Her surgery is about 40 minutes from now. I am praying to her and you, too! Best of luck to you! Let us know how you are doing! (I have 3 weeks before my banding!) Take Care!

Here I am - everything went really well - now the gas and bloating has started! I am so please that I really don't have much pain but am having a terrible time trying to sleep. I am really tired but sleep doesn't come my way. I only slept about 90 min last night and sure hopeing to do much better tonight. Of course I didn't think to ask for the Dr to leave me a sleeping pill so I just laid there and watched tv.

I am anxious for the next couple of days to pass.

Thanks all for the well wishes.

I am on my way!:clap2:

I don't feel bad at all but I got some sleep last night and that really helped. I had thin cream of rice this am and no problems. Now it is time to get rid of the gas but that isn't unbearable either. Just have to remember to rest, because I do feel good.

Thanks everyone for this site and for the encouragement!

SD i got banded yesterday and I too feel really good. I'm just sore especially when getting up from the recliner. I just keep ice over my shirt for the swelling. I had a little gas right after the surgery and I took a gas strip and it went away hopefully it will stay that way. It was kinda hard for me to sleep last night I slept better in the recliner. Take it easy and i will too.

      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.

      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!!
