Well, I'm 3 days in and am kind of starting to feel human again. Also learning the value of those tiny sips everyone talks about! Not sure I completely got it until it was my turn!

I was banded on 10/12/16. The first three weeks I felt tired and out of sorts. I didn't have regrets, but was feeling the pain of the changes.

Be patient and kind to yourself. I'm now losing 10 pounds a month without exercise and with snacking due to three holidays and numerous gatherings. I'm sure as I start exercising I will see an increase in my weekly weighloss, and thankfully the holidays are over.

With all of us a successful 2017.

Hello,

I need help please. I had my lap band surgery in 23 November 2016. My band is 9 CC filled so far. Before I did the surgery my weight was 82 kg (180.77 pounds) and my height is 174 cm (5.7). We are now in Mid February and my weight is only 78 kg (171 pounds). I am feeling like I am not loosing weight. Is there any problem? I am starting to regret that I did the operation from the first place. I am so frustrated and sad. Can someone please help me. Thanks!

I was banded in October and I'm losing 10 pounds a month. I do weigh more than you. I count calories and track my food. I eat high Protein and low carb. Example Greek FF yogurt, 1 Splenda sweetener, some blueberries for Breakfast. lunch and dinner chili or Soup or salad with Protein and a veggie. I stay around 1000 calories a day. Sometimes I go to 1300, but that is special occasion. I still struggle to exercise consistently. I'm happy with my band.

      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!
