Yikes, I have gained weight - 1st time!



Recommended Posts

As of June it will be two years since getting banded, for the first time I have gained weight -11lbs to be exact.

I have never had this happen but I am not going to let it slide. I have an appointment in two weeks for a fill thankfully.

I am refocusing on my diet and exercise - looking back to my old success from when I first got my band, I just need to take good look at what I have learned and reapply it once again :smile:

I think it happens to the best of us. :thumbup:

Just think, you're still under 200 lbs, so that is awesome! I would do just like you said - refocus, etc.

I'm only 1 day out from my band - praying that I see a magic number under 200 at some point.

I always like to use the famous line from "Finding Nemo"...Just keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming. :smile:

Give yourself a pat on the back for stepping in quickly and not waiting until things were waaaay out of hand.

You have the tools, now put them back into play. you can do it!

Get your fill, and go back to band rules. That is the joy of banded life. We can tune it up and be back on track.

Best wishes!

Thank you Cocoa Bean :thumbup: the fill will certainly help and just the past two days I have really looked back and refocus, plus utilizing this site is so crucial to my success.

      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!
