Hi, My name is Jessica. I was banded Jan. 18th 2007. So far I have lost 21 lbs. I just had my first fill March 15th. I also miss my soda, but I got myself addicted to homemade Lipton Ice tea. I keep it unsweetened in the fridge and sweeten in with splenda( I actually use the Great Value Walmart brand) in my glass. I drink it all day and it's 0 cal's. I actually can't stand the taste of actual sugar anymore, lol.

I love the Walmart Grape sf drink.

I feel like making sure I drink my sf liqiuds each day really helped me with my weight loss.

I still miss my diet mt dew. Oh well it is worth it.

Good luck,

edie

Oh my gosh your from Somerset PA too. Where did you have your surgery done at. Im having mine done at Cleveland Clinic I know its far but they are one of the best I heard and anyway I am seeing my Endo up there anyway and she is the one who said that weight loss surgery might really help me and so sh reffered me to the Baratria center in the Cinic. does any one else go there. did you see Dr. Chand or Dr. Shauer (sp?). Its nice to find some one from my town that had this done. We should talk some time. By the way Im Lauren and Im 25 today. Yes today is my birthday. Im having a Angel food cake with strawberries and lite whipped cream. Only one slice. Trying to be good. Any way this is cool. Its nice to meet 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!
