Five months and 66 lb. later I am finally halfway there. Fourteen more pounds and I am in ONEderland. It is really exciting to start to feel like 'me' again. Thank God for the band! I can't imagine how I would feel or where I would be without it.

Now my new goal is to really focus on exercise. The weather is finally starting to warm up and the best exercise for me is outdoor walking. A friend at work joined Curves and as part of a promo got me two weeks free, which I start tomorrow.

Now that I have about 60 lbs. left I wonder if I can make it by my one year bandiversary, which is Nov. 1st 2008?

Starryeyed, Congratulations! I've been working to get to my mid-way point as well. I'm almost there. I'm like you about the outdoor walking. I started mine Tuesday.

Give yourself a pat on the back, you've done a great job!

Thank you all for your words of encouragement! They mean a lot! I did my third session at Curves today and I have really been enjoying it. I think it's a great addition to my outdoor cardio.

      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!

        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.

      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!
