Welcome May 2009 Bandsters

Well, I am new to the site and will be banded on May 6th. I also noticed that there are several that will be getting banded in the month of May to.. So, I thought it would be fun to have a thread for us May Bansters.

I think it would be fun to see how we all progress as we each reach our surgery date and our experiances after.

So I will start first..

I am counting down to my days, I have 4 days left. I am on the pre-diet and have lost 12 pounds. I am looking forward to having my band.

So when is your date? tell us all.

*Please post even if you are not a may 2009 bandster we would still love to hear from you and we post our experiances.

See you in Band land soon. :)

Right now just low fat, low calorie, I do my preop on Tuesday and at that time I will be given my next instructions. I am looking at a surgery date of either the 14th or 21st.

I found the may 2009 bandters group just after I posted this thread.. So sorry for duplication.

As for what I am doing on my pre-op diet. My doctor had me to a high protien low carb diet with only 900 to 1000 calories per day.

I do a juice Plus Complete soy protien shake in the morning and for lunch and then I have a small meat Protein and veggies for dinner. I have also been walking and doing Water aerobics every day.

I will see you all on the mayo banditos group and threads.

happy banding

Mine is May 7th and I am so excited. I have been on the high Protein diet preop and I have lost 7.5 pounds in 4 days. I hope it is this easy after.

Good luck to everyone....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
