MsJoy had her 3rd fill today. Since her second one, she has been convinced that she was doing horribly. She could eat ANYTHING! At the bandster meeting the other day, she was a good girl (according to the food police) and had only a cup of Soup and a little chicken. Usually she can eat almost as much as me. Even though a friend had asked her where the truckload of farmers had gone that use to live in her slacks, Joy just KNEW........KNEW that she hadn't lost an ounce since that last fill. More than likely, she had gained a little, even. We go in and they gave her another cc, for a total of 9...and the news that she had lost another 8 pounds since the last visit. :faint: WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!!! We celebrated with another bowl of brocolli cheese soup at Chili's and a trip to the gym for some cardio........

Ms Joy - Yee haw! Good job! I think it's better if you're eating a little bit more anyway.... I worry about my body thinking it's starving and not losing.... or worse yet screwing up my metabolism so bad that if the band was ever taken out I'd be in HUGE trouble!

I'm so happy for you! We'll look forward to seeing another cute top at the next bandster lunch! Congrats!

Thanks Kim, I'll make sure that she reads that. We had a blast at the luncheon and we're looking forward to making it to another one. There ain't nooooooo tellin' what that woman has hiding in the back of that closet. LOL

Well 1slowloser, I can tell you this much. Joy has NOT been exercising until recently. She HAD been following the doctor's instructions to the T. After surgery and after each fill she has been put on liquids for at least a week and she feels that is when she has been losing the most.

Just stick with it and get your fills when you should. Some times starting an exercise routine causes your body to bulk up and retain fluids. Just hang in there. It ain't fast, but it's good.....

      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!
