I wanted to jump in here and introduce myself. I was banded February of this year and I have been more of a "reader" than a "poster" on this site.

I want to reply to Kat's fears of people viewing her profile. I am guilty!! This is a wonderful site and I appreciate being able to log on and read other's experiences and follow other bandsters through their journey.

There are several people on here that I find positive and motivating and I like to read their replies. Kat, you are one of them! I would bet I am not the only one who feels that way and maybe that explains all the "visits".

I like to read this thread as well...you guys have a pretty amazing group here. I have laughed out loud many times reading what you ladies write.

Good luck to you all on your weight loss journey!

Angela

LOL! We're like a funny blog I bet, from the outside looking in. Bunch of crazy ladies!!! (Not me of course)

I had McAllister's for lunch.. last time we went it was absolutely horrible. This time I tried their chicken cordon bleu (not battered or fried), and it was WONDERFUL. I got steamed veggies with it, and those (non-seasoned or salted) were really freaking good too. I was really surprised, I doubted I'd like the veggies. Need that fill like nobody's business, I ate most of the cordon bleu and 1/2 of the veggies. scale stopped budging. Blah blah, fill please!!!!!

I wish i got the extra fill last time too - but self control is what i'm going to have to do. I would like to get one on my next visit in May right before our trip or now... so i'll be regular at the time of our trip

My surgeon sent me a letter the other day, I sent him lab work (he gave me forms to get it done every 3 months, I just always forgot) when I was doing it for the whacky drugs.. and they said everything looks good, Iron, hebagoblin hemostat (blah blah?), and he said "it looks like you're doing good at getting your Protein in". AH HUH! And I don't even use shakes. Preen.

WOW!! I just had to move 60lb box of white tiger beanie babies from my office to accounting. I thought I was going to die, and I dropped it a couple times.

And that's just 60lbs.. I lost 100lbs. Holy crapola.

Thanks Kat~

I am less nervous now. The lady just sounded so ominous. It won't be bad. Susanne is off this week, but can probably be here next week on Friday. You are right...I am and will be sooo glad when this is over. Tracy, what I meant was as I was on phone w/ lady...I could feel I was getting my period (for today) again. Anyway...it is not easy to be out this time of year...but I am sure they will survive w/o me.

Ohh, I didn't get what you were saying either. I googled your procedure since I didn't know what you were talking about.

GOOD LUCK!!! Recover quickly, and make Susanne baby you!!

Hi Angela,

Thank you very much for the nice things you had to say---just could not figure out why anyone would want to go looking at my stuff!!! LOL

Yeah, you will figure out we have some off the wall discussions, but if you need support---------this is the group to give it! I love these ladies!

So....if we make you laugh out loud, surely there are times you want to throw in your own 2 cents worth-------hang out and do so----!!! Welcome!

Jenn feel better.

Suzanne......hope you enjoy your buzz!!!!

I know Laura, can you imagine walking around carrying that everyday??? It truly amazes me.

I am off to the store.....Was going to go earlier, but Kinsey and I ended up in the back yard playing instead!!! She is headed home now, so I will go alone!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
