The band is just a help!!



Recommended Posts

Since being banded I am training everyday and I am eating sensibly/counting calories and I am working harder to achieve my goal harder than before the band. You know why????

It's because I am major motivated by my weightloss, by comments from people, by clothes fitting easier, by fitting in plane seats, by staying healthy, by living longer, by being able to

Play with my daughter.

Don't get me wrong the band kick started all this and majorly helps Portion Control but results drive enthusiasm.

HOW BAD DO YOU WANT IT????

For sure....you still have to do ALL the work the band just makes it easier because of the restriction. You can do it!! Good luck and keep up the good work =)

OMG yes! I think that says it all. If losing the weight is what you want, more than anything, you will make it happen, band or not. The band just makes it a little easier, but we still have to do all the heavy lifting (pun intended)

I agree with all I hate when I hear people say I took the easy way out they have no ideal of the hard work I continue to put in day after day

      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!
