I LOVE MY BAND!!!

It's been awhile since I've posted; life has just been crazy busy. You know how it goes.....

I'm watching the weight come off and that is just the most thrilling experience. I broke the 160 mark this morning and I just want to shout to the world and show everyone my happy dance!

Did I tell you that I love my band? I no longer binge eat, I don't eat large amounts of food at every sitting, food is not on my mind all the time anymore. Sodas are a things of the past. I now eat like a thin person. I don't have to completely deny myself of all things wonderful in food, but I surely do have the easy ability to control my food impulses.

Losing weight just does an amazing thing to your ego. I'm feeling confident and sexy again and I still have a way to go before I hit goal. I can easily see the light at the end of the tunnel. I don't feel like I'm about to sabotage myself; I'm going to get there!

If you're on the fence about getting the band, I know, it's scary. My wish for you is peace in your decision-making. It may not be the answer for everyone; I don't know. But I'm just telling the world right now that it was truly a Godsend for me.

Anyone else just feeling fantastic this morning?

Good for you!

Also, I notice you (by your < 30 BMI) that you are no longer "obese". I am close to that myself. I think that will be the best milestone yet!

I love posts like yours!

Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!

I went into surgery thinking I was substituting pain for willpower. Eat right, or suffer the consequences! :D:eek::D

Instead, I got the Cracker Jack prize: no more interest in food!

Who knew?!?!?!

Just hit my mini-goal of 175 for my California trip in 2 weeks. I am STOKED! I've just bought a bunch of new clothes, had my hair done, my nails are all grown out and polished beautifully. I think one of the biggest kicks I get is when I see someone I haven't seen for over 5 months and I watch their jaw drop. My whole DAY can revolve around that look!!!! And you know what else? It just goes to show that everything is RELATIVE. Thirty years ago I would have been APPALLED if I was sitting at 175....I would have been in the depths of depair and probably crawl under a ROCK somewhere! I actually stand in front of the mirror NAKED now! And literally for the first time in my LIFE I'm going "NOT BAD OLD GIRL!!!" How you feel about yourself is 100% how you feel about life. People tell me I am BUBBLEY!!! Happy camper doesn't BEGIN to describe my attitude!!!!

My wife and I both love the band so far. She will be 2 weeks on Wed. and I will be one. Sure adjustments have been hard but most of them are, but that what makes this great. Will keep you posted.

      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!
