Starting Over Again



Recommended Posts

Due to stress, work, and depression, I have become lazy with my life. I just stopped doing and caring.

Today, I start over. I'll measure out my portions, and I will go for a walk after work. Tomorrow I will go back to the gym and continue to do so three times a week, walking on the days I have no gym. I have lost 70lbs since April and I want to lose 30 more by December! I can do it! I just need to break from this depression!!

I can completely relate to your depression and need to "start over". You see, I had my band done in Feb 2008. I was on a good track of losing that first 5 weeks and then my 17 year old son died. He was physically handicapped and I had the procedure to try and become healthier so I would be able to care for him. I tried for awhile after that but then gave up and had all the Fluid removed from my band. i have not stopped gaining weight since having the fluid removed. I have made it to the point in my life, I realized that it is time NOW for me to start over. I made an appt with my surgeon, and will go in on the 10th of October to have the fluid put back in my band. I know it will be a difficult journey for me, but that I CAN DO IT.....Hang in there all my lap band buddies...YES WE CAN!!!

      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!
