Congrats Nancy!! That is sooo exciting, I am counting the days until I get mine! It won't feel real until then.

Hi Kristen! Read your blog...congrats on your engagement!!:laugh: You get your band next week...yippeee! I'm on my 4th day post-op. It was so much easier than I had thought! Port site is sore and I am SO tired, but that's it. Glad you were able to meet someone who had your surgeon and hospital...great mentoring! :thumbup:

I am also getting banded on August 24th - have my final appt with dr. and nutritionist next friday. seems like mostly what I read is that people have more trouble with the liquid diet than the surgery. Sure hope the surgery is as easy as everyone says! It's so good to hear about everyone's weight loss. Makes me excited!

Day 4 post op! I am eating oatmeal with milk and threw in a little applesauce for more flavor. Finally something substantial to eat. Only had 6 or 7 teaspoons full, as I don't want to overdo it and I want to make sure it will stay down! Still hurtin' today at port site and I am so sleepy still!! But, I did take my beagle fora walk (2 blocks) to start building up my strength again. Glad I had this done; I know it will work for me!! Lost the 9 lbs. of Fluid from the hosptial/surgery and I am back to me pre-op weight loss of 12 lbs. again....yipeeee!

I am getting banded on August 18th. I don't have any special pre-op diet that I have to follow. I had my pre-op doc visit last week and I found out that the day before my surgery I do have to go on a liquid diet. I was surprised. I had heard of other people having to go on a liquid diet for a week to 3 weeks before surgery. I'm very excited though. I can't wait. :cool:

Glad I found you august Bandsters! I got banded on August 12th! I am feeling much, much better today. Still tired but not nearly as tired and sore as I was. My gas pains are pretty much gone now so its mostly just port site pain but that was to be expected. I look forward to getting to know all of you and to going through this exciting process side by side!!

So glad that you found us. This is a great group of bandsters. I think we have been through it all, and it is just half of the month. LOL... If you need anything just let us know.

howz it going August bandsters? My surgery was on the 7th. Had bad gas pains but now at two weeks, I just feel sore only. I can eat "normal" at ths point. I think I must wait 6 weeks before getting a fill. Bummer, but I have lost 15 pounds so I can't complain. I credit that to the many days of Clear liquids. So how is anybody else doing? Would love to hear from you

how do we get the weight loss ticker on here?

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
