Thank you so much for the response! I just did the stalker thing and looked at your blog. Clearly one can tell that you have done SO well! I need to remember to take sideways pics too; they're major!

Ha - What stupid thing did I notice...that you can see your eyes more clearly when you smile! Of the 900 reasons to hate having my picture taken, that one is up here! I have the chubbage cheeks and my eyes look like slits when I smile. I clearly need to go to bed, huh?

Congrats Jaime and keep up the good work!

That's one thing I love now! LOL The biggest difference to me is just the smile, period. I used to hate pictures so there aren't many and those that do exist don't show me smiling.

I think now that surgery is getting closer to being a reality, I'm just wigging myself out. The stupid DS thread about how LB should be taken off the market b/c it doesn't work (esp for the SMO/MO) just freaked me out. Screw them and their stinkiness.

I'm the opposite. As my surgery comes closer I am more and more determined and feel that I have nothing to worry about and that it's REALLY going to happen.

When I was farther away and having to fight with my insurance about things I never felt like surgery was ever going to happen. Then on the 8th this month they started talking about preop with me and said I will be starting it sometime in October. And surgery in November

I am bound and determined to let nothing get in the way of this changing my life.

For the first time, I'm wondering if I'm doing the right thing...

Because a bunch of people think THEIR surgery is the best? Come on, we all think our surgery is the best.

But I thought it was amusing that they were complaining about this thread on LBT but they have their own thread on the DS forum dising the lap band. Both are equally as bad, IMO.

They say it's to educate people who come to their board but there is no way I'm going to take advice on what it's like to have a lap band from someone who hadn't got one. Same as I'm not going to take advice about what it's like to live with a DS from someone who hasn't got one.

I'm so happy the VSG board isn't like that. And even happier that the Lightweight board is completely against surgery wars. They are so pointless!

Only reason I don't like the DSers on OH and I talk about them is because they were assholes to me said I would never lose weight would always be fat until I came crying to them begging for the DS

It crackes me up the most when the DS'ers say in one post "I hate it when they [lapbanders] say their surgery is the best, when we're just spreading information".....but then they turn around and compare the lapband with being in a building that's on fire?!? That's too funny.

Also, I love the exchange between the 2 DS'ers and the lady that was trying to say "why not live and let live". She'd post a point and be all reasonable, and they would come back with "Damn, I'ma fixing to stuff my face with gravy". That whole exchange made me laugh soooooooooo hard I had tears rolling. But I think that perfectly symbolizes how the DS'ers are (at least on OH).

Can you picture it? A roundtable discussion on WLS:

Lapbander - Well, there are some rules with the band

RnY'er - We've made some dietary changes as well

DS'er - Gravy!! Ima eat ice cream with syrup!!

Lapbander - Uh......ok, but anyway, about the band

DS'er - I eat fried mayonaise and lose weight! Gah! Porkchops!!

and so on for the entire length of the debate

One more reason not to get the lap band...

goto page 6 look for LeaAnn and the post where she has the on DS shirt. Look at the back of her pants...

Doesn't it look like she has old shit stains on them that she tried to wash out?

I didn't really see old fecal stains, but I did like it when she said "most people would give their eyeteeth to look like me", or something like that. Just the arrogance of it. DS'ers are too easy to bait. They swallow it every time.....It's like kicking an anthill....they swarm out all chaotic touting some study that supposedly states how the DS is so superior to every other surgery available.

In the end, I'm happy with my band. I'm not going to try and persuade anybody which WLS surgery they should have, that's up to them.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
