I'm proud too! I didn't tell anyone I got the band, because people who aren't obese don't understand about feeling hungry when you're really not and about uncontrollable binge eating. I know the band isn't magic, but they think it is. I saw how hard my mom worked to lose 110 lbs with the band, she wad constantly dieting, doing Atkins, South Beach, Hcg, etc. The band Judy stopped those "whole bag of cookies" binges. Its no body's business. You and everyone else, are losing weight to be healthy and to be a more beautiful you. Good luck to you all. God bless and good vibes.

...thats so right. i told my husband last night that he wasnt to expect more beauty from me as a result of weight loss but that i would better health. im 65, i dont know how weight loss is going to affect my muscles, my face, my neck. reading these posts i can see that Protein is an essential part of diet, to the point where it is encouraged to be taken by powder or liquid. im assuming that this is to help with the muscles in the body... not sure about that one. Im certainly going to try and keep a healthy skin, im not going to neglect my appearance. does anyone have any advice here for maintaining a smooth skin after surgery?? weight loss can cause havoc with the face and neck.

Thank you so much, yes it was shocking, always hungry, I've been big, I was a chubby bubby, big kid and even bigger teen. It suprises me looking back at photos, its such a motivator when u have those weeks where ur not going anywhere. I walked away froma friend the other week because I was so sick of trying to explain it to her, she is younger and immature so I really don't want to re include her in my journey anytime soon. I love the new me, it's just the old me, with a little less shyness, alot more smiles and a lot less rolls lol! It's been great :) I love eating to live. Not living to eat :)

I use almond oil, but I'm 16, so my skin is still pretty elastic, but im sure if u bought some bio oil? It should help a little :) I heard it helps with stretch marks, I'm gonna buy some soon, I'm starting to get stretch marks -never had that problem till I started loosing weight- :) hope i was a tad helpful :D

yes... thanks so much.. you were helpful. if you get some oil for yourself and start using it now.. because you are still young and your skin is elastic, you should be able to get rid of those marks. if you cant... have a look online for a tool called ''derma roller''... in fact, look it up and have a read... its a brilliant little tool to have in your bathroom and it does work wonders. also, while i think of it... rosehip oil is also very good. im going to make a small list of the oils you mentioned so i dont forget them. thanks.

Aww thank you :) that's really nice of you :) I think I'm feeling this way, because it's something new, my body is changing, I'm starting to notice things, it incredible. Before people would ask if my eyes re open when I smile, now there so big people tell me how beautiful they are, I can't believe how big they are lol. My head use to look like a circle, now it has structure to it, and I'm getting a neck :) its crazy. :')

Your welcome :) I think I've heard of a derma roller, I'm not sure where from though lol, I massage my face every night, it seems to help define features on my face, mainly my neck and jaw, I use weights with my arms that helps them a bit, and I go on the ab circle pro, it's so much fun! My legs felt like they were gonna drop off when I first used it haha!

      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!
