these are the coral colored pants that my friend AJ sent me last year..i have wrote about them before..when she sent them to me' date=' i could not get them up over my thigh...100% true and i do not own a scale and so i used these pants as a way for me to gauge how i was doing....little by little, i got them on...and then i was trying hard to get them buttoned.....and then my stomach apron kept me from that....but i kept ON.. day in and day out eating my allotted amount lean Proteins, veggies, fruit drinking ALOT and exercising first just walking (all i could do) and then i would go farther and farther and then start low impact step aerobics first without the step and then on the step and now its a daily thing...to work out after work i do not eat my din din until ole girl works out and here i am today....wearing those coral colored pants..(they come with a white belt but i did not include it as i wore a black shirt)..the pants are a size 16 reg/missy (label said)...and the sweater is size large so, 16 months ago, i was in a size 5x skirt, size 30 pant and well over 336+ pounds and this is me today..in those coral colored pants so this post is to say, i did it... thanks for the support[/quote']

You look amazing in those coral pants.....seeing you reach this milestone is great since you have often talked about getting into those capri's during the course of your weight loss.

I hope you know what a true inspiration you are to me...and many others....there is no phony baloney here...just the plain and basic facts of banded life. And ever since I've been on this site, I've followed a few people and you have been one of them and you are making such a difference to me.

I've been banded only 7 1/2 weeks and I keep your words in the back of my head...out for a walk tonight with the dog....was it cold in NY...yup...so on went the winter coat and out I went. It felt good and no one could make me do it but me!!!!

I think the best thing has been making better food choice and NEVER feeling deprived. I eat everything I want and am learning to pay attention to that "stop sign" you talked about. I don't always listen or get it just yet but I'm figuring it all out....and the results are there....

I feel better....physically and mentally. My clothes are loose...even big...and the scale (which I am NOT a slave to) is down...... 46 pounds ALREADY.

So a great big thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing YOUR CORAL CAPRIS....and thanks to AJ for sending them to you!

      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!
