My journey has just begun...



Recommended Posts

My last "disagreement" with my dad was 4 years ago. He was upset that I had gained so much weight. He was crying and told me it was so unhealthy. I told him he she love me unconditionally. My dad died a year ago from ALS. I know now that I MUST lose this weight as I want to be healthy, 50 AND fabulous!

I am scared but I know this is the right course for me. I am a confidante for lap band surgery.

As long as you have thought long and hard and are ready to commit to a new life style then congratulations.

Do you research and find a good surgeon, someone you are comfortable with.

I get my band place next week and I can not wait. I am so ready for this and need is so badly. I am ready to get my life and body back to where it was ten years ago :)

Good Luck

I just starting my journey. Scared to do it but more scared not too. Ultimately excited about where I will wind up. Went to a support group meeting and it helped a lot. Going back next month.

      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'. ???

        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!
