My own worst enemy



Recommended Posts

I am so happy/sad/mad/relieved that I saw this post!:biggrin::sad::angry::ohmy::cool2:

Wow! Ok, first of all any loss is a good loss, right?! We all know that, but I definitely know how everyone here feels. I sit here after eating lunch and feeling ugly full, wondering when I am going to stop trying to sabotage my own efforts!

I have had 3 fills for a total of about 4mls in an 8(?) ml band. I do feel restriction, but am continually amazed at how much I can eat. (my mom even commented on that one day and it made me so mad! LOL) After reading some of your posts, I think I may not be at the optimal fill level yet! yay! there is hope!!!:thumbup:

I do also realize that I need to change some things like: not drinking with my meals, exercising ( I hate it but I really want to), eating healthier choices (freaking candy dish/tub :angry: at work is killing me!), eating Protein first!

Also, for those of you "worried" about "only" losing x amount of weight - I count from when I started (this time!LOL:tt2:) which was LAST July. So, I have "only" lost 51 lbs in 10 months? better than continuing to gain! I feel so much better (well, usually, not right at this moment, blech...) I am sizes down from where I was! We are all really doing great! Even if we are only in the thinking about banding stage, we are better for it!:wub:

It totally helps me to know that this feeling must be normal and that I haven't "failed" my pre op psych eval and really must be a poor candidate for the surgery and they only did it for the money... :whatchutalkingaboutphew! I love me, I really love me! I just need to show me better! LOL

Thank you thank you for posting - everyone who did - you helped 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?

        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!
