I see many of you had your surgery last year....2008, but I'm an Ocotober bander set for Oct. 5th 2009....less than 2 weeks away!!! i'm incredibly excited about this, but i'm struggling on the pre diet sugar busters diet. From what I see you veterans sharing it'll definitely be worth it.....

October 1st date, and I start my pre-op tomorrow. I have suffered from last-supper syndrom for the past week, so I'm actually really happy to be starting the pre-op so that I can stop eating so badly. If I had more than a week to go still, I'm sure I would just keep on eating and gain a ton of weight. But, I'm SOOOOO nervous for the procedure. I'm supposed to be paying for it tomorrow, so I'm pretty anxious. One week today, around this time, I'll probably be arriving back at home - newly banded. I'm excited beyond words, and anxious beyond comprehension. So, I guess I may as well just focus on the excitement, right? Good luck October bandsters!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
