By the way, I have to change my ticker because I purchased a new scale and it reads closer to my doctore, but it pumps 10 pounds on. Dam! been delaying for two days now. Been loosing 1/2 lb to 1 a week. At one time, I went 3 weeks without a loss so the new scale although is better shows me with a gain. Arrrrrrrrrrgh!

I can't believe this. I have just come back from an all inclusive vacation wherein I felt every meal was my last. I was going to post a very similar message. I am having my consult today but I have already booked my surgery at TLBC for April 26....not too anxious huh!

Everything I ate made me think that I may never eat this again, am I doing the right thing.....but then my daughter showed me her digital pics on the screen and I am soooo big. Way bigger than I thought. I have to do this whatever the sacrifice. I actually didn't think I looked that bad. Boy was I mistaken. I am glad these last supper feelings are normal.

I would really love to hear from you bandsters what a typical days food intake would be. Like what do you have for Breakfast - how much , Snacks, lunch, dinner etc.. I am talking after the healing of course. Just to sort of put my mind at ease. Don't be shy, spit it out...not literally though...

Donna, what I found out from talking to so many people - is that everyone does this! Someone at TLBC told me they gained 10 kilos the month before their surgery!

Good luck.

You rock too Yoda. Today was a GREAT day...even though it was the first day back to work after the holidays - some didn't even recognize me - or were sort of startled - I have that effect on some! Ha!Ha! But I still have over 300 (not a typo) e-mails to read and answer ...sigh... I'll be paying for the vacation for the next few weeks.

Have a great weekend. I'm going to glo in the dark golfing with a bunch of kids tomorrow night - that should be really relaxing!

Hi: Not only did I eat "my last supper" many times overagain, after I had the band on I religiously stuck to the clinic's direction. ONce I was on solids my brain said "test the waters". So it seems it is an on going battle.Doddie

      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 :)

      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.
