Congratulations to everyone recently banded! I agree with susanm, in that I admire those of you going back to work so soon. I was banded on the 10th and am still very weak and lethargic. Work starts up on the 23rd, and I plan to add Protein Shakes to my Clear Liquids on that date, or I would not get through the day!

Congratulations to everyone recently banded! I agree with susanm, in that I admire those of you going back to work so soon. I was banded on the 10th and am still very weak and lethargic. Work starts up on the 23rd, and I plan to add Protein shakes to my Clear Liquids on that date, or I would not get through the day!

Wow...My post-op diet from Kaiser requires that I have one Protein shake a day for the first two weeks. I don't know how I would do without it. I didn't realize that other doctors want you on a clear liquid, and didn't include the Protein. Would it be cheating to drink one of those pre-made Isopure drinks? You can see through them and they pack a walloping 40 grams of protein per 20 oz.

I Want To Wish Everyone A Good Week This Week Who Is Going Into Surgery

I Was Banded On Friday The 13th And The First Day I Was sleep Alot But Not To Much Pain. Saturday Afternoon I Got Up And Was At The Horse Races All Day...my Mom Was Mad That I Was Up And Moving So Fast But I Just Had Minor Pain.

I Have Lost 18lbs Since The 10th So That Has Suprised Me, Protein shakes Are Still A Little Hard To Get In But I Have Been Drinking 1 Slim Fast Low Carb shake, 1 sugar free Popsicle, And I May Eat A sugar free Jello Which Goes Down Fine And 100% Apple juice.

Yesterday I Ate Egg Drop Soup And I Think It Really Helped Cause It Let Me Get Some Of The Gas Pain Out And Gave Me My Second Bowel Movement....

I Was Going To Give A One Week Update But Since I Am At Work Not Doing To Much I Thought I Would Share My Experience.....

I Would Really Like To Know What Others Are Eating

wooo Hoooo June 10-284, June 13- 277, June 16- 266.5= 17.5 Lbs Down

I wanted to hop on here and say hello to everyone!

I am back at work and doing fine. I took 5 days off and with weekends, that was 10 days.:biggrin:

I feel fine, just a little tired and everyone asking very nosey questions. :angry:

Seems they all notice that I have lost a few lbs.:crazy:

A young male student in the Industrial Electricity class has even written me a love poem. LOL He could be my grandson...LOL:glare:

Good luck to all of you getting banded today and keep the nerves in check for you getting ready for tomorrow! :)

Later:thumbup:

Tomorrow is the day. Want to wish my fellow June 17 banders the best of luck and also wishing you an uncomplicated band life.

I thought I would be nervous. I must have gotten all of it out of my system in the last few weeks. A certain calm came over me last week and I know I am ready for this. The plan I have set in place is to follow the band rules to a T and to go into all of this with a positive attitude no matter what my pop up down the road. I am so ready for this lifestyle change.

Well tomorrow is the day...I'm so excited, but the nerves are starting to kick in. I have to be at the hospital by 12:30 and am guessing my surgery is around 2:30. I'll be praying for all of my fellow June 17th bandsters...can't wait to post again when I'm on the other side!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
