Unrealistic Ideals



Recommended Posts

I have the same issue with my jeans tight in the waist sagging in the butt. But I guess thats a good thing. It's funny you mention your nephew's comment cause my son told my husband to go to the store and buy me a pair of new pants to wear home from the hospital (he overheard me saying I wanted to lose 100 lbs.) apparenty he was afraid I was coming home like that and wouldn't have any pants that fit right. He told me he didn't want my pants to fall off in public.... I laughed so hard I thought I blew a stitch. Gotta love em

Afraid of being a quack was the reason I didn't tell anyone but my family.

A few have mentioned that my face looks slimmer, but that's about it. Now, if only my body would cooperate and drop some weight.. that would be divine!!!

It so nice to know that I'm not alone..

Huggles :smile:

I called my Dr this weekend because I was getting stressed out about not losing ANYTHING. he told me not to worry about it right now. to think more about eatting enough Protein then the other foods and making sure I was not drinking while I was eatting.

I hear ya! Going through the same thing. Even though I finally reached the 260's today, it is still in my head, I'll be fat FOREVER.

(((hugs))). I'm quite sure all of the successful bandsters have gone through the same feelings.

Have you all taken your measurements? Bet you find that you have lost inches all over. My weight isn't dropping as fast as I would like, but my favourite shirt pre-op (which fit just right) now needs to be taken in by 3 inches on each side seam:biggrin:

I think we need to start looking at our NSV's instead of the scales.

I need a fill I'm hungry and am eating the wrong foods. I think I'm in a funk. I was trying and trying I cannot get out of the 250's and that was my main goal I started at 286 and down to 253-256 depends on which d!*@m day. I don't go for my fill until Feb. 11th. I can't put into words how frustrated I am!!!!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
