Anyone weigh 302? Here is what's in store for you!



Recommended Posts

Ten months ago I weighed 302. Yes, 302. I was so blue.

My life was small and getting worse. Obesity was my lifelong curse.

I had a dream. A dream to live. It asked for all my strength to give.

I mustered strength and all my will. Every requirement I would fill.

I got my LapBand and then began

My new life of not "can't", but "can".

I can, I said, and walked a mile. You've never seen a bigger smile.

I can, I said, and rode a horse. "The hour trail?" I said, "Of course!"

A trip to Italy, climbing hills. My new endurance gave me chills.

A bubble bath is a luxury that once was for everyone else but me.

An airplane ride with a regular belt. I can't describe how good that felt.

The movie seats used to squish my hips. Now the room I have brings a grin to my lips.

My larger clothes become someone's prize as I donate them for a smaller size.

My dozen meds have gone away. One pill and a Vitamin today.

Arthritis pain controlled me so. I am so glad to see that go.

A hundred pounds have waved goodbye. There really is no better high.

Fifty more to get to goal. Not stopping now. I'm on a roll!

So if you're starting out, don't fear. This all can be in your new year!

Have faith, believe, work hard, and give

Yourself the best of gifts -- to LIVE!

      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!
