Congrats on your date. I found your blog but was not able to follow or post comments. Not sure if it is just me, but I thought I would mention it.

Hey!!!

I am a September 18th bandster to!! I cant believe that its only a week away! My MD has his pts do a 2-week liquid diet before surgery and a 2-week liquid diet after surgery. Its really not been as bad as i thought it would be. Ive been doinf it for a week now and Ive lost 8 pounds which makes me very happy!!

Protein Shakes and fruit smoothies have been my life saver. I also really like egg drop Soup and chicken broth. those actually make me feel like I am eating some actual food. adding Protein helps me stay full longer. chewing gum has also greatly helped me.

Im excited that we are going through this together!!

cant wait to see how we all change

Hi All!!

I just had my surgery 9/3/09. I'm feeling great now and only wish I could start eating!! I had my first post-op visit yesterday and was not feeling veey well due to all liquid diet for three weeks but I only have SIX more days to go. My first fill is 10/5/09.

My advice for the liquid diet phase: Just do it!! I totally DID NOT think I had the power in me to do it but I did! I feel like that was my first accomplishment. Now it is much, much harder to wait. My PA said this is usually the worst week of all, but she said in six months it will all be worth it.

I started my journey on July 30th with my first visit and I have lost (as of yesterday) 22 lbs so far! I wear a bodybugg religiously and count calories. I very highly recommend a bodybugg, well worth the investment. Also, I really found the Arbonne shakes to be the best - next to smoothie King, of course.

Good Luck to All!!

Terri

Me toooo! 9/18 must be a lucky day! I'll pray for you all and hope you'll send one out for me too. I live in Turkey so am far away from my family, but my husband will be with me so I'm feeling ok. Mostly nervous about anesthesia. I've always been paranoid about it!

September 2009 Band Date

This seems to be where most of us 09/09 bandsters post.

Have you placed your name on the list there?

Wishing you the best on your band day. For some unknown reason, all of my fears vanished on my band day! It's nice to be relaxed, and focused on why we are taking this journey. Keep in touch, and let us know how you are doing with a band.

Anita

      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.
