If this is being bad--I'll take more



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I just got back from a week long business trip, and really struggled with my intake. Old Aunt Flow was in the mix making me fill "hungrier craving er " than I've been since this band.

A MIRACLE...I thought I was being "BAD" and after 1 day at home I'm down 4 Lbs after being up 2 Lbs from my trip.

What is dawning on me is that my BAD now is so very very GOOD compared to what my NORMAL was before my beloved band.

I know now that by the grace of my band I was able to stop eating most of the time within reasonable moderate parameters (new thing for me). I also know that had I given better effort with Water and excercise on my trip I could have lost more....but there's the learning that I'm having to do.

My gratitude to you dear friends for the support that we give and receive.

Loving my band

Amanda

the band really is great, isnt it??

with proper restriction, most "bad" days are better than a non banded normal day.

congrats on 24 pounds so far!

I'm having exactly the same experience! I was terrible yesterday but not as bad as I normally would have been pre-band. I also am having a mega visit by Aunt Flow for some reason. I'm not sure if it is that, or my changing eating patterns or a combination of both or what. All I know is that after two weeks of not budging I have suddenly dropped seven lbs in a week! Like you said, whatever it is, I'll take it!

Congratulations to you both. You have made me so grateful for Menopause:lol:

Keep up the good work!

      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?
