A super congrats to Lellow who is is Australia and will actually be banded before all of us in the States have even gotten home from work on the 31st! Lead the way Rubber Duckie!

On lellow's heels we have edel and keisha 85, followed by Moe128 and Claudine1975. Next up we have southerngirl24, Andrea20405, and Cathrine Ray. We don't know where fee and Tracyde730 are, but our wishes will be with them all day too.

We look forward to seeing you again on the other side. Come back soon :biggrin:

OMG, so I have to tell you a funny story! After creating the roster for this board I noticed that Claudine was in the same town, Raleigh, NC. Turns out, she lives less than 2 miles away. We haven't met yet...but sure will soon. Anyhow, I have ordered just gobs of Protein samples. I had some duplicates and some that I am not willing to try at all (I have a thing about orange-flavored stuff.) I bagged up a few of these and put it on the porch for Claudine to swing by to pick up sometime. Some of these were sealed in little heat seal baggie-type things.

Here's the fun part!

So, this morning I actually opened my front door. We go in and out a side door usually. Strewn ALL over the porch is Protein powder! There was chocolate, banana, vanilla. Probably about 4 different kinds from the mix of colors that were there. Seems the squirrels decided to give the stuff a try :biggrin:

I don't think they liked it because they only bit the corners off of the packages instead of tearing them to shreds to get every last morsel. Oh well...I guess they figured that since they didn't have any Crystal Light the stuff just wasn't worth it. :biggrin: Let's see if they can get the pull tape off of the Low Carb Slim Fast!!!

OMG. Reading these posts it just clicked to me that it is finally August. Then my heart jumped. That makes this surgery even more real to me. Before it was 6 weeks away, now its 3!!! My liquid diet starts in 2 weeks.

Hi Cutie - I'm on August 6th too and I'm getting really excited! I see that you are also in Orange County, CA. I am in Fountain Valley and getting banded at Orange Coast Memorial. Where are you going?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
