Wow LS... 23 pounds already, WTG!!! That's great, sounds like you lose weight pretty fast...

I'm curious on what kind of shakes you drank... Were they Protein powder?? I'll start my pre-op diet on the 2nd of October.. That will give me 2 weeks before surgery... Hopefully I can go 2 weeks...

Well, I had my consult on Aug. 28th went to the seminar on Aug. 9th. Went for upper gi test on Sept. 4th. Now I'm waiting for my surgeon to get back with me to schedule surgery. Seems like just a whole lot of hurry up and wait. It's frustrating, but I know it will all be worth it in the end.

Hi,

My name is Twyla and I am new here. I am scheduled for surgery on October 4th, and am excited, nervous, scared, anxious, and happy all at the same time. Anyone else feeling the same?? I am a registered nurse in Virginia. My husband and I have lived here for 5 years, but are originally from Southeast lower Michigan...most of our friends and family are still there. My husband is active duty Navy, currently on shore duty for the first time in 5 years. I have been researching the surgery and have chosen to have it done because I can loose weight with the best of 'em, but the trouble is I find it again almost as quickly. I have had the best success with the South Beach Diet, but only loose weight by sticking to phase 1 and exercising 2+ hours a day. The exercise schedule is just not realistic since I work 12 hour shifts as a labor and delivery nurse. I am scared getting in all of the fluids and eating slowly will be a challenge once I go back to work because at work we usually eat and drink when we can, and rarely take a full 15 minute break let alone 1/2 and hour for lunch. I am very motivated, and want to get rid of at least 80 #'s and keep it off for good. I weigh between 250 and 260 right now and it is my highest weight ever. My husband is very supportive, and actually proud of me for trying all of the diets realizing they were not a long term fix for me and now taking the next step to have lap band surgery. He is an amazing support system. I also have PCOS so insulin resistance makes it hard for me to feel full for long periods after eating. We are hoping by loosing weight I will increase my chances of becoming pregnant. We have been married 5 years now and have had no luck in that department because of the PCOS, but my endocrinologist says loosing the excess weight will most likely solve this problem. I am 26 years old and tired of feeling trapped in this body. I know I would be much more outgoing and enjoy life more if I felt comfortable in my skin. I look forward to chating with you all and supporting eachother through this journey!!

      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.
