Hi sbanfield!

I'm Millie and I will be banded on Tues. the 28th also!!!! Two weeks from today, yippeeee! Have you started any pre-op diet? Are you having your surgery in Houston?

Take care and let me know how you are doing. I'm so glad to have another bandster on my same day!

Hey Millie! Woohoo!! I'm so happy...we're both on the same day. We can compare notes on how the weightloss is going.

Preop diet...none. My surgeon said I was good. I've been on a 1500 calorie diet for a couple of months...and he said I didn't need to change anything. But I'm a chicken, so I'm going to do my own preop diet next week...just liquids. Don't want my liver to get in the way or freak out when all I'll be having is liquids for the following 3 wks. You know?

Yeah, I'm having my surgery in Houston. I visited a few surgeons in the area...until I found one that I felt comfortable with.

Where are you? Tell me...what you're up to. :thumbup:

Hi Sbanfield,

I live in Ventura, CA, about 35 miles south of Santa Barbara. I'm so happy to have someone else going through this on the same day! I still haven't taken my before pixs yet, but when I do, I will post them. My hubs & I lived in TX for awhile when he was in the Army. But came home to CA when he was done.

I went to the Nutritionist on 6/30/09 and she gave me a pre-op diet to start on (actually today) but I couldn't wait and I started it on July 3rd. I've lost 8.5 lbs already! I've started walking again at work, it was very hard the first few days, but it's getting easier. I hope to run in a Marathon with my daughter in a year or so! At least that is one of my goals...Thanks for writing back. Take care and let me know how you are doing, good or bad...we all need all the support we can get.

ttys,

      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? 🤷‍♀️
