Congratulations to everyone recently banded! I agree with susanm, in that I admire those of you going back to work so soon. I was banded on the 10th and am still very weak and lethargic. Work starts up on the 23rd, and I plan to add Protein Shakes to my Clear Liquids on that date, or I would not get through the day!

Congratulations to everyone recently banded! I agree with susanm, in that I admire those of you going back to work so soon. I was banded on the 10th and am still very weak and lethargic. Work starts up on the 23rd, and I plan to add Protein shakes to my Clear Liquids on that date, or I would not get through the day!

Wow...My post-op diet from Kaiser requires that I have one Protein shake a day for the first two weeks. I don't know how I would do without it. I didn't realize that other doctors want you on a clear liquid, and didn't include the Protein. Would it be cheating to drink one of those pre-made Isopure drinks? You can see through them and they pack a walloping 40 grams of protein per 20 oz.

I Want To Wish Everyone A Good Week This Week Who Is Going Into Surgery

I Was Banded On Friday The 13th And The First Day I Was sleep Alot But Not To Much Pain. Saturday Afternoon I Got Up And Was At The Horse Races All Day...my Mom Was Mad That I Was Up And Moving So Fast But I Just Had Minor Pain.

I Have Lost 18lbs Since The 10th So That Has Suprised Me, Protein shakes Are Still A Little Hard To Get In But I Have Been Drinking 1 Slim Fast Low Carb shake, 1 sugar free Popsicle, And I May Eat A sugar free Jello Which Goes Down Fine And 100% Apple juice.

Yesterday I Ate Egg Drop Soup And I Think It Really Helped Cause It Let Me Get Some Of The Gas Pain Out And Gave Me My Second Bowel Movement....

I Was Going To Give A One Week Update But Since I Am At Work Not Doing To Much I Thought I Would Share My Experience.....

I Would Really Like To Know What Others Are Eating

wooo Hoooo June 10-284, June 13- 277, June 16- 266.5= 17.5 Lbs Down

I wanted to hop on here and say hello to everyone!

I am back at work and doing fine. I took 5 days off and with weekends, that was 10 days.:biggrin:

I feel fine, just a little tired and everyone asking very nosey questions. :angry:

Seems they all notice that I have lost a few lbs.:crazy:

A young male student in the Industrial Electricity class has even written me a love poem. LOL He could be my grandson...LOL:glare:

Good luck to all of you getting banded today and keep the nerves in check for you getting ready for tomorrow! :)

Tomorrow is the day. Want to wish my fellow June 17 banders the best of luck and also wishing you an uncomplicated band life.

I thought I would be nervous. I must have gotten all of it out of my system in the last few weeks. A certain calm came over me last week and I know I am ready for this. The plan I have set in place is to follow the band rules to a T and to go into all of this with a positive attitude no matter what my pop up down the road. I am so ready for this lifestyle change.

Well tomorrow is the day...I'm so excited, but the nerves are starting to kick in. I have to be at the hospital by 12:30 and am guessing my surgery is around 2:30. I'll be praying for all of my fellow June 17th bandsters...can't wait to post again when I'm on the other side!!

      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
