January Bandsters???



Recommended Posts

So far, nothing has been cancelled...just not 'cleared'. Tomorrow, God on my side - I'll walk out of the Caridiologist with that clearance...and Tuesday will still be THE BIG DAY. Shouldn't be an issue, my Stress Test, etc. were no more than three weeks ago!!!!!

Send some good vibes my way!!!!!!

That is great news! I will be sending prayers your way. We are only four days away from our new way of living!! I can't wait to start shedding my "fat suit" I've been wearing for the past ten years.

ps: Thank you babygotback, so are so cheerful and inspiring with your posts!

Take Care!

Man, I'm am so sick of broth, Protein Shakes etc. I've been doing them for 12 days now and still have 5 more days! I get to go to Mushie next Thursday and I am counting the days. My doctor still won't let me have meat, but I can have refried Beans, cottage cheese, soft egg, no hot sauce, yogurt, and I am even looking forward to cottage cheese.

Sherilynn, I hope everything goes okay, please let us know after your cardiologist visit.

Also, maillady2, I added you to the master list, and I've sent an email to Angy (the starter of this thread) to update her original post. She should update in a day or two.

Okay girls! My husband was dying to know how much I lost since he says I look a lot thinner. I started pre op at 190, surgery date at 186 and tonight after eating and drinking all day, I weigh 175!!!

I didn't want to weigh because don't we weigh more at night?

I can't wait to see how much I weigh in the morning!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

So, from my pre op I lost 15 pounds in 4 weeks!!!

I am doing the happy dance!

Congrats! That is wonderful! I am so happy for you. You are doing awesome. I hope I do as well. Only 4 more days til I get my band. You are truely an inspiration. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts. Gigi:)

Hello,

I get banded the day before and I am excited. I did notice that you mentioned straws - my doc said no straws. Also, the books I have say no straws either. I think it puts air in there and can make the pouch expand which can cause problems with the band.

Just thought I should let you know what I was told...

Good luck next week!!:D

      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.
