Thanks! Oh, interesting doctor info - we do 2 days of liquids before the surgery and that's all. Also he doesn't think that soda makes the band slip. I still think I'm going to forgo even tho I'm an addict. We do liquids 3 weeks afterward so I should definitely lose some weight then!

I am glad I quit. I am so much happier without a soda all the time. :lovechoc:

It's nice to know so many people on this forum can't stand me. At least some of you could have enough gall to tell me instead of being fake. :shades_smile:

I got the email about the success stories section, went to find it, and found the top story was a No Success story. Why do people do that? I'm sorry that you aren't having success, but there are plenty of other places to post something like that and the "Lap Band Success Stories" is not one of them.

I personally am getting sick of all the negativity around here lately. I am also sick of personal attacks on each other. It seems to go in waves around here, and I am really sick of it.

I just got my first taste of that this week. Someone who claimed me be a poster here sent me a message via MySpace just to call me a liar. She insisted I couldn't possibly have lost 95 lbs and that my pictures look like I simply changed clothes. WTF is wrong with people?!

It makes me sad that there is so much of it. And it's just awful that people question the before & afters... What gets me is, it's always anon's, or fake screen names. No balls.

Who the F would lie about their before and afters? I don't get that. Like someone said before, it's not like there's a pot of money for whoever gets there first. Hello! Tell 'em all to "sod off"!!!

In America, that's calling being a "hater"!!!

It's Sunday morning....and I have my first cup of coffee in hand. After a productive day yesterday, I want to be doing nothing, but alas, the laundry awaits. Like wire clothes hangers, laundry multiplies in closets if left unattended. :thumbup:

      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.
