Who's Getting Banded in August???



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone, I would love to be a part of your group.

I think it would be great to be an All-Star with all of you. I am on my pre-op diet of Protein Shakes right now. I get banned on Friday, Aug 8th.

half2bwhole, I am getting banded August 6th too! How is your pre op diet going? I am finally starting to get used to not eating solid food. It was very difficult last night when my kids decided to make popcorn...one of my favorites and it smells so good! Other than that I'm doing ok. Good luck to you Wednesday!

1 more week for me. The clock is running and I'm counting days.

I'm starting to get comfortable with the pre-op, nothing but liquids (600 calories a day) for almost a week. This is going to be a good thing. Already my blood pressure is lower and my blood sugar is lower too 80~90.

Hello, I just started my 3 day pre-op diet of all liquids. I am drinking chocolate Medifast shakes and just had a sugar free popsicle. Why yes I am still hungry...LOL

But I will live. My date is this Thursday Aug. 7th! I am very excited to start this new chapter in my life.

Good Luck all!

I am getting banded tomorrow, 8/5/08. I'm starting to get very nervous. I am "Super big" at 424 lbs., and have very arthritic knees. I cannot walk long distances or stand for very long, as it is, so I'm nervous about being able to walk enough after the surgery to ward off gas, bloodclots, etc. Wish me well!:thumbup:

Hey Sarah, So glad to hear that you are doing so well. Keep up the good work. I heard from my surgeon's office today, they uped my surgery date to August 21 from September 8. I'll keep you posted, as you do the same. Glad to hear you're doing well!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
