Before my journey started I wore size 24 pants, sometimes I could get in a 22 but they were a snug fit. Seven months later, today, I am in between a size 18 and 16. The 18’s are a little big and the 16’s won’t button yet. I will get into those 16’s soon. I went on a 3 mile walk this morning and thought about those dang 16’s that I will be in within weeks. A size 16 is my goal for the end of October. I think I can…I think I can. : )

Hey lap band evelyn,

I am right there with you. Im taller that you but started in a 24 and now my 18's are a little loose. Maybe we can motivate one another to hit the 16 mark by the end of October. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am still hoping for the 18's. I have a full wardrobe at that size. I don't remember leaving it behind. Sure will be nice to return. 16 will be next. 14 would be a miracle.

Congrats! I'm so close. I thought I'd try the 16's next week after a few more miles of walking. :D

      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.

        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!
