Would Like A Local Buddy - Md



Recommended Posts

I posted in location specific forums as well but this seems to get more traffic.

I live in Hagerstown MD but pass through Frederick 2-3 times weekly, am in DC once weekly and Leesburg, VA 1-2 times per week.

Banded in March of 2009. Initially lost 100 pounds in year one. Dropped 350 to 250. Then dropped another 40 in year two to 210. Back up to 240 at this point. Fill is not a useful tool for me at this time. It would take me to liquid breakfasts and trouble with Proteins and veggies, which defeats the purpose.

I need a friend (definite preference on LOCAL) that is interested in chatting via email, possiblity meeting up from time to time, and/or working out. I'm pretty flexible on all of this, but would like to get back on track with someone that is in a similar situation or has recently been banded, as either of these would be motivation for me, and I would like to help motivate right back.

I have started back out on a workout regimine that includes walking/running (doing couch to 5k) as well as cardio and weights in gym. Current exercise rate of 4-5 times weekly for 30-45 minutes each time. Would like to up this once I am ready physically.

      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!
