Hi ya,

I don't know if anyone else wants to do this but I thought it would be an idea to share pictures of our weightloss journeys?

I'll start and I hope to see many more of everyone else at whatever stage of your personal journey you are on.

I had the band in Oct 2006 and I am just over halfway to my weightloss goal.

OK, now I am not too sure and my apologies if it doesn't work, but it should.

You click on the picture button, then you go right down to the bottom of the webpage and there should be an open box to browse for your pic and to attach to your post.

I really hope it works, I feel a bit lonesome on here by myself.

Kind regards

Suzy

Ah hang on, if you go down to manage attachments that is the button you need to click on! At the bottom of the page Additional Options

Thank you Caz,

It really is one of the best things I have done in my life. But, a word of warning don't expect miracles. For awhile I thought all I had to do was carry on as normal, the band will do all the work.

The band is an excellent tool, but not a cure all. It took me awhile to get used to that but once you do it's a fantastic partnership.

When are you getting banded?

Kind regards

Suzy xx

Hello!

I am going to ask my GP about getting a band, so it will be quite a while yet.

I can eat the healthy food, it is when the depression hits or I have a bad day, that I give in and eat rubbish.

I am hoping the band will stop me feeling hungry and give me a full up feeling, so I know I will make myself ill if I overeat.

I have had too much abuse in my life, got rid of the abusers but am still left with the weight from the comfort eating.

I am looking at 2 years for the weight to come off, but I can't do it on my own.

I completely understand where you are coming from Caz.

The band will do that for you and you are certainlny going about it the right waya nd the support you will get here is fantastic.

You will have to keep in touch and let me know how things are going.

Kindest regards

Suzy

      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!
