Hi y'all, My name is Tasha Coco, I'm from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I'm a BBW (of course) Lesbian Mom. I was banded by Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey Mexico on May 25. My top weight was 427 lbs, my current weight is 355 lbs. This has been a much harder journey than I thought it would be. I struggle daily with my food choices.

Hi Tasha,

Congratulations on your weight loss. It sounds like you are doing GREAT!!! I think a number of us here struggle with our food choices, so you are definitely in good company.

P.S. -- I think that is one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen :)

Good luck,

Tasha, welcome!!!

Your puppy is SO adoreable, and you are doing GREAT!!!

So glad you found us!!

Join in all the fun the wonderful people here create. :)

Struggling with food choices - a common theme. I believe it usually has to do with diet mentality. Once you throw away dieting FOREVER, it is easier to make healthier choices more often, because you know nothing is off limits if you're DYING to have it.

It is truly astounding how much a little thing like changing a mindset can help us on our journeys.

Best of luck!

Hi Tasha, welcome!!

I took the liberty of resizing your photo to avatar size. Right-click on the picture below, and save it to your desktop. Then go to the User CP button here at the top, click on Edit Options, and at the bottom of the page you'll see Avatar. Click on Change Avatar and upload the file that you saved to your desktop. That should make this little photo into your avatar, the pic under your name.

Nice to meet you and your furbaby!! :)

      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!
