Looking for a buddy!



Recommended Posts

I am 53 years old and was banded November 19, 2007. I have lost 80 pounds but am not moving past that. I exercise regularly (5-6 days/week) and eat a very healthy diet. I've done really well but have about another 120-130 pounds to take off. The weight loss was moving really fast at first but now I'm stuck. If anyone can offer any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks very much.

Lisa

:teeth_smile: Hi Lisa,

I know what you are going through I was banded in 2005. Lost 70lbs the first year and then got stuck. Fill unfill fill unfill a vicious cycle. Then last sept I was in a car wreck and since then have gained 30lbs back. I threw away all my fat clothes so I'm reall uncomfortalbe. Right now my band is so tight if I eat more than three bites I throw-up. But I'm still gaining. I am planning on going back to the gym this week. I will have to go slow I broke my neck and back in several places. I have soft tissue damage that is the worst. So slow I will go. I'm 42 in november and I have 100lbs to go. I will cheer you on if you will cheer me on.

your new buddy

      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.

      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!
