I was banded on 3/11/08. I have lost 32.5 pounds since I started my pre-op diet. My doctor still has me on liquids and I don't go to mushies until my first fill which will be 4/14/08. I am looking forward to that.

My starting weight was 253 and my weight today was 220.5. I drink my Proteins, Water and exercise daily.:regular_smile:

Congratulations everyone. Keep up the good work.

Hi Kathyline,

I just wanted to give congrats to you on your weight loss. Your pre-op weight is very simlar to mine. I was very curious as to how many days you work out?, what you mainly eat ? Do you replace a meal? I am really trying to get this weight off. I was banded 3-21-2008 and I have lost a total of 23lbs (pre-op diet lost 13lbs). I really am focus on getting this weight off and keeping it off . Please give feedback soon. I really am interested in getting good results.

I was banded on March 4th. With pre op diet, total weight loss as of last week is 21 lbs. I only weight once a week, trying not to obsess over it. I feel as if I could do a lot better if I had some restriction. As of right now I think I've lost this 21 lbs on will power alone. I go for my first fill on the 23rd of this month. Hopefully then I'll have some restriction. Congrats to all Shrinking Shamrocks!

I don't think so. I was banded the same day and I am down 21lbs. My scale hasnt moved in the last few days, but I am now on mushys and I believe my body has to adjust.

Thats wonderful! You are on your way. I am very anxious this morning due to a few things and this is the 3rd morning my scale hasn't moved! I am hoping all of a sudden more weight comes off!

      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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
