Recommended Posts

Well everyone I have come to a point where I am extremely happy with my size and my wife thinks I need to gain a few pounds back! LOL. I started my journey 02-24-10 and was at a whoppin 340lbs and thats after loosing 55 on my own, but I am at a wonderful 208. 32-33 inch waist pant and med.-lg shirts, I have seen people I havent seen in 6 or so months and they dont even reconize me AT ALL! My wifes uncle thought that she had remarried when we drove to Mississippi to see him, 132lbs in 7 months and I can honestly saw I have worked my @ss off in the gym and I am proud of myself and my weight loss. I have still not had bread, Pasta, or sweets!

Loosing was the easy part, now I have to figure out how to maintain. my wife thinks that I need to start adding back in "normal" people food but I am still worried I will start gaining weight back. Good luck to all the banders out there, if I can loose it everyone has hope!

Hopefully she isn't reading this but it doesn't matter what your wife thinks! All that matters is how you feel. If you don't miss the "normal" people food whatever that means, then don't risk it.

I never took any foods out of my diet except fastfood and soda.

      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!
