Hi everyone, I am doing this rather backwards as I have already posted questions not realizing there is actually a way of properly doing this - oops!

I am going to be booking my band procedure with Dr. Ortiz (my gal pal is also getting it done with me - I am trying to get her on here!) for early September. I wish I didn't have to wait so long but a new position at work means I have to delay it a bit. I am psyched and ready to go now but...I am sure September will be here before I know it. In the meantime I will try to continue to educate myself and prepare myself.

I am really concerned about getting through the endless pre-op diet...I am a real emtional eater so this I am sure will be the biggest challenge for me ever!

Congratulations to all of you and your amazing success! You are truly an inspiration and I am so happy to know I have so many "sisters and brothers" in band land! I am sure you will all be extremely invaluable once I begin the hard work!

Cheers and happy to meet you all!:)

Welcome to LBT! Congrats on deciding to be banded. Every doctor don't require a pre-op diet so you might not have to do one. If you do, you'll be fine. Good Luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
