Ok So Ive had great luck in my weight loss. Im struggling now to adjust to a normal life and get good eating habits.,,my question is..

Is anyone else disappointed in what they look/act like?

I had these visions all my life of when I was skinny Id be beautiful and everyone would want to be my friend and I would have this great life...lol like being skinny would solve my problems or something

Now yes I know thats silly, and of course I didnt expect it to happen..but is anyone else like disapointed in how they look as they loose weight.. Im not talking about loose skin or anything..anyways just wondering if I was the only one carrying this particular baggage:wink2:

hun you have done great with your weight loss, although i haven't been banded yet when i had lost weight previously i also took around a pic of when i was at my largest and compared to myself then, to remind me of how well i had done.

they do say your head takes a lil while to catch up with your new body.

gg's right. We look at ourselves everyday and are used to our reflection. We get used to being disappointed at what we see. Most people invision themselves completely opposite from what they are now. Sometimes looking back to where we came from helps. You'll probably be amazed.

Hey stranger! I was just banded on 5.23 and can only hope for the kind of sucess that you have had. You look great! Honestly, how much better is life now? I would put my money on 'alot'! Noone is perfect and we women especially are always much harder on ourselves than other people. You have done a hell of a job and should be proud of the changes you have made. I suggest a little retail therapy to remind you how much you have accomplished.

      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.

        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!
