Hey April Bandsters!! How is everyone today!! Kathy your day is just about here! Im so happy for you.

Yesterday I started my Low-Carb diet and I think I gained 2lbs LOL ahhh my body is probably having a fit that im putting it on a diet again.. I wish i could lose 10lbs but I will be happy if I lose 5lbs before surgery! the 1 week before surgery I have to be on a liquid diet so I will lose there. So is anyone else going on a diet before surgery??

Take Care

Hi Everyone!

Its been awhile since I've posted, but I have finally got a date! April 26th, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with Dr. Williams. I can't believe that this is for real! Good Luck fellow April Bandsters!! Can't wait to see how different we will be next April!

i think i am late joining this topic and i also posted elsewhere.. but just in case..

My surgery is April 15th in Mesquite with Dr. Wade Barker.

He is really nice and i tend to flirt with him... is that bad? :)

I have no idea if he is single or not.. but... he is in my age range and he is a surgeon after all... this could work out in more ways than one.. if you know what i mean!!

haha

anyway... i am in for April!

Hi Trish S and all,

I have to say that Iam putting on evey day...What the hell I am 100% sure that Iam going to loose so I have been having all the things I have been having in moderation and enjoying as I won't have the chance again. The best thing is I know I won't have them so I enjoy and am happy to say a some what good bye.I have even started riding my bike everwhere so when all the nosey mother marfias at the school start to notice the weight loose I shall be able to hold my head up high and lie.Yes lie through my teeth.It's the bike riding doing it.As they all think that if you don't put lots of sweat and tears into weight lose you don't deserve credit.But to you all like myself we all know it's going to be hard the longerst I have only ever had liquids is on a 24hr drinking bing,so the thought for 6 weeks terrifies me .Iam sure that will be harder than any going to gym and working out.The only thing the gym has brought me is three pregnancies and 4 children.Thats right I start at the gym and fall pregers.

Good luck guys and when you are haveing all those liquids just thinks there are loads of us out there with you learning to enjoy being slimmer,

All the best Annette

I'm APRIL 27TH!!! (2 days after my 22nd bday!)

Did anyone have to do that test where they shove a LONG tube thru your nose and down into your esophogas? I think it was called the Esophogeal mamotry or something? THAT WAS SOOOO HORRIBLE!!!

I start my pre-op diet on the 13th... wish me luck!

This is a great idea, I hope I can do all this stuff, I'm alittle ok alot nervous about this. My question list is getting longer!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
