I am so excited for all of us May Banders!!!!! I am fortunate enough to be using a doctor that does not require the pre-surgery liquid diet just low carb/high Protein. If I could do the liquid diet without the band chances would be that I wouldn't be doing the surgery.

I had my banding 3/18 and the doctor made me fast on Liquid Protein

for 10 days before to reduce my liver size. He said its easier to get the band on if your liver is smaller. The only thing it really did for me was to make it easier for the post surgery fasting.

Once I was in the process of getting the surgery. I stopped drinking soda and have lost the weight but it has been months and I go up and down anyway.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
