Not a joke, I also lost quite a bit in my first two weeks. If you stick close to the diet prescribed by your dr. things should work out great. Congrats on a great start

That is great! Before surgery, I would gain up to 8 pounds for that time of the month. I am so happy for you!

Hi Jenna, good for you----11 lbs. wowee. I got banded on 3/22 and lost 6 1/2 lbs. since I got home from the hospital. That is an accomplishment for me, believe me. I started on pureed foods on monday, and am having a hard time getting all my Water in. Could that be why I am hungry again after 3 hrs. of my meal? And also the reason my weight loss wasn't as great as yours, right? I will try today to drink more water. I am doing that now, before my coffee and Breakfast. It is just hard planning my meal, and when to stop drinking. I have never been on a schedule before for eating. Also, any ideas on soft foods for this week? I pureed roast beef last night-no problems with any PB, but it is early.

Thanks everyone.... ((blushes)). And this weight loss has me itching at the seams to get out there and exercise to speed it up!! I want to lose more more more!! But alas, I have to wait for at least 3 weeks before going to do heavy exercising like running.

I LOVE 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!
