Looking for June 2011 Bandits!



Recommended Posts

hello everyone, i was banded on june 13th, how is everyones progress ???

I was banded on the 13th too! So far my recovery is going good. I haven't had much pain or gas pain. My steri strips are starting to fall off and boy is my belly button has a nice bruise around it from a major incision above it. So far no nausea or throwing up but I have been real good with my liquid diet and havent tried to eat anything i'm not suppose to yet. For first few days I wasn't hungry but now that I'm healing Soups and Protein Shakes arent cutting it, but I will be a good girl and follow the liquid diet for another week!

Hope yours is going good too :lol:!

Oh, I had to lose 10% and keep it off since march. I also have to be at my pre band weight day of surgery or they will not do it. It's hard to keep the weight off for so long, I would have preferred the liquid diet at least a week before surgery. I may just do it anyhow. Tanya

Hi Everyone, my name is Tracy. I originally posted on the July band post but my surgery got moved to June 30th so I'm here now lol.

Pre-Op diet sucks :P But I'm doing everything I can to stay on track!! I hope it gets easier after surgery cuz right now I'm starving!!

Anyway, I'm happy to be here and excited about my surgery. Any and all support and tips are helpful and I'm happy to support anyone who needs it. Good luck to those of you having surgery tomorrow!!

'My surgery is one week away - 6/27. I have so much nervous energy. I didn't go to bed until 5 this morning. I'm just so excited to get on with this. As for post op stories.......I think there are lots of people out there like Roziecakes that do really well because they DO EXACTLY what their doctors ask them to do. Keep a positive attitude and you'll do just fine. My surgeon said I should have less pain than when I had my gallbladder removed, and truthfully that was no biggie.

I have sort of cheated also, this pre-op diet is a killer lol. I had two bites of pizza that the kids had last night for dinner and two pretzles *sigh* That's my mental limit, if I let myself have two bites of something it can't do that much damage right?! That's my hope anyway. I really want to stick with this but I seem to be hungry constantly. Oh well, I will do my best and that's all I can do. :unsure:

Mine is also the 23rd. I can't wait! Good luck! I had to do a 14 liquid diet, but only found out I was doing the surgery 10 days before, so lucky me.:)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
