Encouraging Words Needed



Recommended Posts

I was banded on June 19, 2009 and I lost 35lbs pretty quickly. 3 months ago I was up to 7cc's and got something stuck and had all but 1cc taken out to allow it to pass through.

Today I had a fill and am back up to 6.5cc's but I have not lost 1lb since I had all my Fluid taken out. Partly it is my fault because I was upset I had to have everything taken out so I really was not exercising much. But, my inability to control my food addiction came right back when I had all that fluid taken out. I couldn't control my head hunger. That is when I realized that this band actually does DO A LOT!!!

I did start back to the gym last week and have been really consistent with going, and I am feeling really good. I am starting to feel a little restriction again which feels amazing and I am so excited to get back on the weight loss train again after an extended 3 month "vacation".

I guess I am telling you all this because it feels really good to be honest about what is happening to me and I am just hoping there are some people out there with words of encouragement, because Lord knows I could use them!! Thanks guys!!! :smile2:

Hi Breeane! I went through a little time off too. Well, okay more like a year's time off. I gained some but I'm losing again because I'm back to being a good bandster.

You can definitely get that feeling back that is so important to weight loss. I'm positive that once you set some goals in place, however small they may be at one time, you will find that flame grow inside again.

      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.

      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!
