"Pointing and giggling" - how rude! (I say in my best Blanche Devereaux voice.)

To be serious now, thx so much for the advice! :-) The only thing I'm leary of trying once I do get banded is white bread but I'm not big on it anyway, thankfully.

Hey, liquids for 4 months over here... ya gotta give me some wiggle room to giggle and point. ;o)

Just keep white carbs out of the picture and fat will melt away!

WasA, I am so happy for you. Even if it took 2.5 hours, you got your chicken!!

I don't even want to say what I ate this weekend. I went camping and ate something about every 5 minutes. That's the great thing about the band. Since I am never really hungry, I will do Protein shakes this next week and lose however many lbs I gained over the holiday weekend.

I might have to do some extra cardio too, but eating like it was the last food I would ever see again, all weekend long, sure was fun!

Ohhhhh.... I ate sour cream lemon pie, cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, ice cream and oatmeal raisin Cookies, and some yummy strawberry rhubarb squares my niece made. Not to mention barbecued ribs, a hot dog, and an entire hamburger. I was still chewing on the hamburger a half hour after everyone else had finished eating, but I actually ate the whole thing. I can't believe I ate it all. But the holiday is over and back to being a good little bandster.

I just took all the barbecue leftovers and threw them into the crock pot this morning--leftover hamburger patties, grilled onions, tomatoes, baked Beans, and some barbecue sauce. I don't know what to call it, but it is smelling really good right now. New England chili? MMMMMMM good, believe it or not.

I just ate a double six dollar burger, a triple whopper w/cheese and a whole bloomin onion. Then I decided a chocolate brownie earthquake from DQ sounded good. That reminded me that I hadn't stopped at pizza Hut in awhile and ate an entire large combo w/anchovies.

I still felt like eating (head hunger) so I decided to try some deep fried whale blubber strips. Wow! Delicious.

I am a veteran bandster and newbie revision, band to sleeve.

I just ate 15 chickens, 2 hams, 4 potatoes, a steak and some taffy.

Did I mess up my staple line? ;o)

(okay, I had to do this. It was a dare.)

I am very interested in the sleeve - it is the newest alternative to the band - I just got my band but am hoping I didn't make a mistake - I need to lose 45 lbs and the doctor said I didn't have enough to lose to justify the sleeve but it seems so much better long-term and I wouldn't have this ugly goose egg port thing sticking up on my stomach that I hate. My husband is considering surgery and I think he may be happier with the sleeve since no foreign object in your body but I am worried about it because it is not something you can reverse.

But, the sleeve is technically a foreign object in your body, right?

Ok, I went back and looked, and it appears I'm totally wrong. I am confused...

Edited by plain
clearly, I'm an idiot.

No, the sleeve is where they shear off a portion of your stomach laparoscopically so your stomach is shaped sort of like a "sleeve" or a banana shape - they remove the part of your stomach that has the hormones that tells your brain you are hungry. There are no malabsorption problems so not the same nutrient issues you have with gastric bypass.

      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!

      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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
