Tommorrow is my big day! (The joys of miralax)



Recommended Posts

I never know how to start these posts.....

My name is Bill. I'm 31 years old, from Long Island, New York. I'm happily married, and have a 4 month old daughter.

Tommorrow, I will take the last/first step in my weight loss journey, I'm getting the lap band.

It's been a long road. I've been heavy my whole life....the fat kid. I've gone up and down for years.....I low carbed....I drank beer, I gained it back...yadda yadda yadda.....

So today I went to the beach with my wife and daughter, and celebrated my fat-ness one last time...kidding....

Tommorrow is the big day. I have started the Miralax preop from my doctor and its not so bad.....then again i can still sit in front of the computer at this moment...

I've talked about it with my immediate family, co workers and a few close friends....

So, I just wanted to thank you all for your site. Although I'm new to the site, I've gotten a lot of info.....

If any of you need anything from me, my email is givempills@aol.com

Thanks,

Bill:smile2:

Congratulation Bill!! Hope all goes well with your surgery. Post afterwards and let us all know how you are doing. I have a 3½ month old granddaughter. . . they are so sweet at that age.

If your wife is supportive to the procedure you have it made. Good luck tomorrow!!!

Hi Bill! I just had my Lapband done on 8-25-09 (Tuesday) & got out of the Hospital today. It wasn't bad at all! I did have some gas (referred) pain in my shoulder, but it went away. That's the only "bad" thing that happened, but it was doable. Good Luck to you & keep in touch....

      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.
