I was banded 2 years ago and had a lot of initial success, but for various reasons I slacked off for about a year. I've gone back to basics, with lots of Protein Shakes and eating simple, protein-rich foods. Toward that goal, I started a blog, and I'm aiming to write in it every day -- I'm taking the weekends off, generally. My blog is called I'm With the Band, and it's here. The blog and renewed effort have paid off. In the week since I started the blog, I've gone back to losing weight. I'm always thinking about my eating and it's kept me on track. My goal is to break into Onederland by Oct. 6, my next doctor appointment, and I'm pretty sure that will happen. I'm not one for writing in journals, but I do enjoy writing for an audience (I have another blog about my efforts to publish my novel, but it's not going as well as the weight loss). I'd love to hear from anyone who reads it. And good luck to everyone in their losing efforts.

Congrats on getting back on track, Julia! Don't lose sight of the fact that you're 78.5 lbs healthier already.

Hi Julia,

Read your blog. Was great! I have never tried to do one. I used to write as young girl(many moons ago!) I; also, was banded in 2009. Mine was Oct. 30, 2009. I have met goal, but maintenance is a bugger for me. Anyway, I will follow your blog. Friend me if you like. Karen

Still following your blog! Do you have a direct access to it? I have to find this title to access it. Today it was on the 2nd page. Can't believe you slept that late; my husband would be so proud of you. Karen

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
