August band date



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am needing to pinch myself every once in a while. I am still in shock that I am really going to be doing this. I have looked into WLS for 8 years now. I was first looking at GB. Way before I had even heard of LB. I have a friend that had LB 3 years ago. SHe was really big. Now everytime I see her she has a smile on her face. I know how she feels. I don't even know that I am smiling and someone will say what so funny or why the smile...... I know that this is going to be life changing. I am already starting to exercise. We bought a Wii for he kids and I am using it. Ii have to say that it has been fun. We also bought the wii fit for me and that is fun also. It's not like exercise. It is really fun..... Just thought I would share....... Hugs T:biggrin:

I know how you feel. I still can't believe I am actually going to do this. I was smiling until I started my liquid diet. I am sooo hungry I can't sleep. We got the wii fit about a week ago and my family and I are having a great time with it. I think it's funny how the mii's are sized acording to your weight. I'm looking forward to having a skinny mii!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
