Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am Joy and I am a 53 year old bander with 150 pounds to lose (more tomorrow). I was banded last August lost 30 pounds,and crashed ever since.

I have recieved two fills but they just did not click.

I am starting from day one again. I am willing and motivated but seem to be afraid to actually get it done. If you like a willing challenge, I'm your girl.

i am 56 this is my last chance to live an kind of healthly life and may be yours also. do you want to say fat and unmotivated? get the rest of your fills, don't go out to eat and don't put foods in the hz that can tempt you. commit to a short walk every day start with 15 minutes a day. i have grandkids and i owe it to them to live and be able to go places and keep up with everyone else walking. all forieners say we americans eat like pigs and it is true. i have to make this work for myself and my love for my family. committ and try again take one day at a time. you can do it. oxxo

hope all is going ok. stick with it. look up some healthy reciepes on the inter net. i do it by typing in a food i like such as cauliflower or ground turkey and it will then give reciepes contaning these foods. using spices is the key to great tasting food and i don't mean spicey spices. after i found a bunch of reciepes i liked i printed them and if 2 or more called for a certain spice i put it on a list to buy. so now i have my hz stocked with good foods and the spices to make them taste great its fun. try it. tell me some foods you like and if i have a good reciepe i'll send it to ya!!!

      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!
