Thanks Rocko.. I'm glad I saw it.. it gets confusing to keep up with who posts were, I wish they were a bit more organized, or only showed current. I'm glad you posted it twice, cause I've only seen it once. :) It's a great article I sent it to my family members and posted the 4 food groups on the fridge. Are you still on liquids? or have you progressed to mushies. creamies yet? I'm toying with some cottage cheese today.. just a few bites. I can't stand those Protein Drinks.< /p>

I'm probably getting around 600-700 Calories a day, starting yesterday. I'm down 30lbs from 3/12/07 That's with about 30min or so of exercise everyday. I'm pretty pleased so far, just wish this was available 10yrs ago!

Thanks Rockn4u! Awesome article! You know ladies - men lose a lot faster!!! There is a guy in our support group who was lap banded on May 25th,2006 and lost 155 pounds by 2/1/07. He looks awesome and is already to goal. i hope i can do as well as he can. he runs one mile a day on his treadmill and does this 4 or 5 days per week. he says he will never be fat again.

Yep, he followed all the rules. You are doing great too. This website is really helping me - everyone in our area does the gastric bypass thing and there are not too many lapbanders to get support form. Relatively new to our area. Thank you for all your help. Just out of curiousity can you tell me how much it cost in Mexico???

Mine was 8500 in Mexico and that was for everything from start to finish and free fills for life. My surgeon has trained most US Surgeons and all of them in Houston and had done more than 6000 bands so I really feel I had a great doc and everything went great. The hospital was beautiful and so was Monterrey.

Rockn4u,

Thanks for the link. I am going to post it on my fridge.

I am being banded on Mon. 4/9!!!

The pre-op diet really stinks, but I am very excited.

      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!
