I am so much more than just my band. Just sayin'. I spend a ridiculous amount of time everyday dedicating myself to thinking about my band and a portion of my online time is spent doing other things. Like contemplating prostitution. Or discussing whether my crap floats or sinks. You know, the interesting stuff!

If it floats it is much more likely to clog the toilet. I'm just sayin'....

Trying hard to think of a way to make that band relevant though, so as to keep this thread on topic.

Okay... if you wrap a band around a turd, will it sink or float? I guess it depends on if you fill the pillows with sand or air. :sneaky:

I guess as a long-time bandster (relatively, lol, it feels like a lifetime), I am finding that I really need the off topic posts to keep it interesting. If it was all just banding, banding, banding I would have moved on to a different site.

There are only so many bandster hell, help I am not losing, fill experiences, how soon can you go back to work, I have eaten such and so during post op . . . am I dying? kinds of posts that I can answer without becoming bored.

All I can say is . . . thanks to all of you that keep my day interesting by posting about animals, prostitutes and the turd flotation factor . . . lifes too short not to mix it up a bit.

We are all a little more complex than just our obesity, our bands or our weight . . . at least I hope so.

      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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
