I changed my display name to DaybyDaybaby because that is exactly what I feel like. everyday I need encouragement, everyday I feel I need guidance for this lapband. Granted I have lost weight but I think I wasn't expecting so soon and my mind hasn't caught up.

I feel a bit guilty because I didn't try harder, but I was just so tired of losing and gaining back.

I journal all my thoughts, I give mysellf pep talks:

I will be where I put myself mentally : in bandster hell or successland.

Sometimes God gives us our hearts desire, the rest is up to me

I even have an email set up to myself that says 'you finally did this for yourself and your family,

Life will be happier

I just needed to vent, :huh:

It is a day by day struggle. and as my hubby has said, I had two surgeries back to back my body is still trying to get back to its normalcy. (gallbladder/lapband) hard to believe it will be 6 weeks already , I want to be one of those that are happy they got the lapband and can really start enjoying life and the lapband be part of it , instead of being something foreign for now.

Thank you HollyDolly , I don't want to be complaining to hubby all the time poor guy. He is supportive but he doesn't really know what's going on in my head.thats ,why this site is my lifeline. I just sometimes feel I complain too much, or whine too much.. what do they say would you like cheese with that whine?

In looking at your ticker , I think we are aiming for the same weight goal, Awessome!

      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!
