Thanks everyone for the welcome back! I am doing very well now. I had a freak thing happen, only me, and had to be re-banded on Monday because of a complication with my band on Friday. I am so excited to have begun my journey and I am down 22 lbs!! Good luck to everyone recently banded or soon to be banded...my band has a first name and it D-A-I-S-Y!!

Sooo.... I copied an idea from the shrinkin' violets, and with some inspiration from our very dedicated Nimble Bean... I decided that I wanted to contribute something to the a-MAY-zing bandsters.... If you click on the link in this post.. it will bring you to a spreadsheet.. just for those of us banded in May for us to track all the pounds we lose along the way... You can use it, or not use it.. I *think* I included everyone on the sheet... BUT if your name is missing.. you can just add it. ENJOY!!!

Ooops.. that's not the right link (and the editing still appears to be messed up).. Here's the RIGHT link.

I found the link and got to the spreadsheet, but how do you put your info in? I clicked and double clicked the box but it won't let me type in my info? By the way, great idea. I go in at 11:30 today for my surgery, I am sooooo excited and nervous!!

I have been on this website for the past 2+ months. It has been such a blessing to read the stories from those who have been where I plan to go. I've been waiting for a few weeks for a definite date of surgery, and to my surprise:omg: , I open my yahoo account and I rec'd an email from my Dr.'s nurse on Friday who congratulated me and confirmed that:

I AM SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY ON THURSDAY, MAY 31ST!!!!! YEAH!!!!

:) :clap2:

CONGRATS!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Hey Ragdoll

Just saw your message. I've been at my mother's house all day. We had a wonderful Mother's Day!

The blender attachment is called a Oster Blend n' Go 7 piece smoothie Kit - model 6026. Yes, it looks like you can order online. Oster.com and I think maybe Amazon might have it. Mine was $12.96 at Wal-mart. I have decided it takes up less room than the bullet and it has to be stronger, not to mention the $47 in my pocket!

:clap2:

THis is good info, thanks for sharing.

I am home...well actually at work. I can't believe I did it and I can't believe how simple it was! The only thing is wow, those gas pains can be brutal. Thankfully mine are few and far between but when I do get one, it hurts. My incisions look great I feel good and I am so anxious for what the future holds. Thanks everyone for thinking about us on Friday! Peace.

Here we go...it's clear liquid (and shakes) starting today for banding on the 29th!!!

Trying to look at it as the beginning of a possitive change instead of a "diet"

Off to mix my shake and head to work

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
