Good luck to everyone going this next week, don't be frightened! I'm getting closer and I swear I will be as excited to have the band done as stop this liquid diet. All meals in life should never be sweet chocolate over and over. It is making me examine a lot of my feelings and thoughts around food. I spend a lot of time thinking about it and even a little time dreaming about it!

I have finally had to stop watching Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives though!

Love you all, and happy papa's day!

I still watch Triple-D. You can still eat the foods on that show..you just have to eat them in MODERATION.

I've been on my Atkin's-like pre-op diet for a week tomorrow and In th first few days I dropped nearly 4 lbs and since then I've been up a little bit, closer to a 3lb weight loss. In any other world I would be PUMPED about a 3lb weight loss but I'm freaking hungry! lol.

Treehouse I am so sorry about your experience! Have you figured out yet what coems next or what you're going to do? Congrats to all those that got banded in the last few days - I hope your recovery is speedy! I haven't been able to get on for a few days and I feel like I missed so much! Started my own pre-op diet (yay it's finally here) and felt really crappy for a few days but today finally feeling good again so hopefully my foody hangover is finally over. I'm not hungry at all but grateful for the Protein Bar I get each night for "dinner" just to be able to chew. I'm surprised at how sad I am to say goodbye to food ;) but it helps that I'm not hungry so I haven't cheated. I will do this. Best of luck to the rest of us still waiting for this month and congrats to those who are on the other side!!!

I'm 4 days in but to be honest? I'm not weighing myself at all... then I'm not sad or emotional about it. I got weighed at preop appt but won't know until I met w/ the surgeon again on the 24th (to go over my labs) how much/if any I lost. I'm sorry you're discouraged. Hopefully a few months from now you'll be SO pleased with where you're at. hang in there if you can!

Hope everyone's proceedures went well today. I'm so ready for tomorrow to get here.

Treehouse, I'm curious to know if you found out anything today from your mix-up. Please let us know what is happening.

OH, and I absolutely plan to continue watching all my favorite shows on food Network, especially Triple D! LOL

I hope everyone who had their procedure day comes home safe and sound.

I'm back from the dead. Day 3 killed me. Nausea and a Migraine for a good 14 hours straight is not my cup of tea. At least today I feel tons better, and I don't need to take my pain meds anymore!

Also, if you guys get an opportunity, I would really appreciate it if you would stop by my blog and follow me. If you have a blog, I will follow you right back. I noticed a lot of Bandsters who blogged about their experience had a lot of success in their weight loss goals. I could use the support. :) The link is in my signature.

You can do it! Are you on shakes, or do you have a Protein diet? I am sure in a couple of days, my posts might not be as positive! I am going to try not to weigh myself because I dont want to be discouraged!

      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!
