I can't believe tomorrow is Tuesday and on Friday I will be joining the banded club!!!! The days have gotten easier to cope with, but I am a little concerned. I keep seeing that people loose anywhere from 10-25 lbs during their pre op diet and I have lost 2 lbs according to my scale :/. I have nothing but liquids and exercise as often as I can. Anyone else discouraged in the same way?!!

Give yourself time. How long have you been on the pre op diet?

I get banded tomorrow and I have only lost 6 pounds. You got to remember the heavier you are the more you loose and it may come off a bit quicker.

Don't ever compare your weight loss to anyone else. Just remember any loss is a success!

Best wishes to you' date=' you can totally do this <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

You're right, I've always been bad about that. Thanks!

I wouldn't worry about that I only lost 7lbs and I was on the liquid diet for 3 weeks before surgery! My doctor said my body was in shock and was hanging in to the fat in other words it was in starvation mode! I'm my case I thought I was going to lose the weight very quickly but no I'm not that lucky! But hey any loss is better that no loss! Hand in there and good luck!! :)

      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!
