Bombed Thanksgiving! Trying To Survive 2 Week Pre Lap Band Surgery Crash



Recommended Posts

Need advice from you experienced bandsters: I was doing great on my 2 week crash prior to my Dec 2 surgery UNTIL thanksgiving! My favorite menu of the year. Now just feeling like a failure. Need to get my motivation back up to crash diet again for six days prior to surgery.

Hi Kate. I did the same thing, and I'll make you a deal. I'm going to try to lose 10 lbs by Dec. 2. I will if you

will, and I promise to be honest about it.

Oh that makes me feel better. I was reading on how many folks seem to get through thanksgiving on their full liquids....glad i'm not the only one. Doubt I can get ten pounds off but I am sure gonna get back on track. Just have to plow through the next six days and then SURGERY DAY! Ya know, it wasn't even that good......

Each day is a new day, sometimes we all have to start over. I have been bandded 2+years and sometimes I go back to liquids, mushies and then solids to break a bad pattern from starting. Forgive yourself and move on. Congratulation to all who can stick with it but not everybody is the same.

I did good at the meal, but indulged in leftover dressing afterwards. Today is a new day for us all and the leftover dressing is going in the garbage.

Take one day at a time. You can't change the past, but you can go from this point forward and make the future a success. We all have weak moments but we get stronger as we go through them.

Just put it behind you and start over. I had absolutely no intention of going to Thanksgiving but found myself there anyway. I really thought I did well but the scale had another idea. I weighed 3 pounds more on Friday morning than I did on Wednesday. But, in the immortal words of Scarlet O'Hara.....Tomorrow is another day!

      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?
