Fantastic congrats.. I actually can't believe it's happening now. I thought I would put a message up here as I too would like to be apart of a group.

Where are you from?

I'm in Australia. Do you have to do the Pre op diet? Mine is pretty straight forward. All I have it do is stop eating at midnight the night b4. They would prefer that I start to practice smaller portions and I have lots of reading. My surgeons office believe in a thing called the 8 golden rules. Check out this website. http://www.lapbandaustralia.com.au/ And go onto the latest videos.

It's very good. I've been given the DVD but have watched it online. Helps you understand it a lot better.

Your diet looks ok! I've been reading some people's diet on here and they look tough. I think I will slowly cut back my food intake over the next couple of weeks. To make it a little easier for afterwards. I'm sort of wishing the date was here. I want it over and done with so I can stop thinking about it. I'm not scared or anything just impatient I think. Lol.

I've found 2 threads you may want to check out.

December Divas 2012

And

December bandwagon supporters

Both have lots of people. Good luck. You'll be going home on the 17th, probably when I am getting started.

Thanks!! I have seen December bandwagon. I'll check out the other one.

Yes, we are about 16 hours a head of you. I think when I go to the hospital on the 17th here. It will be about 2.30pm 16th there. I'm now wishing the date was here already. Although I was made to fill out a questionnaire which is about 50 pages long. Ugh.. Finally got it done thought it was going to takes weeks to complete. Lol. If that's the worst I shouldn't be complaining.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
