Greg..my mother always told me " you know when you are truly in love when you can fart in front of your partner" I agree with this whole heartedly..thank god I was not single and dating when I got this band!

You all crack me up!!! As for myself, I don't find I have anymore or anyless of a problem since banding. I have always been able to let them fly out of either end and can still do so. I try to avoid embarrassing situations but alas... that is not always possible. My hubby will get a kick out of this thread, especially the blowing kisses bit. Teresa

I went to Mexico for a week and was the only one with a band, but everyone else was farting, too. I printed out the fart Facts from the link I posted, and my skinny friend, Jackie, nearly dropped dead from laughing so hard.

I was telling my mom about this thread and how I LMAO at it. After telling her about some of the funnies-She told me a story that she hadn't told anyone. She has a chinese pug puppy-about 3months old. Anyways- mom was laying on the couch and the puppy was laying at her feet. Mom ripped a silent but probably DEADLY one and the dog ran up her night gown and sniffed her butt before she could stop it!! I laughed so hard when she told me-Had to share! When I told her I was going to tell yall she said," No, don't someone might know who she is." I reassured her that I would leave out names "to protect the innocent" but we all know that anyone that reads this thread will not do anything but laugh!

I thought my incisions were all healed, but my sides are aching after reading Greg's story and Lauri's. That pug puppy probably felt like it was in a department store getting sprayed with the most glorious perfume.

I think my cpap is blowing air down the wrong way at night! In one end-out the other! I'm getting DH back for all the torture he has forced me to endure! ;-)

Well, its official. I thought my burping ability might be in jeopardy after my first fill but NOPE. I still can manage to let one out on occassion. I had Beans for lunch yesterday and know air can still come out of my bottom end too. LOL... Teresa

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
