  1. 1. What have you lost?



Recommended Posts

Hey you guys...Just checking in on my 8 month bandiversary?

Down 60 lbs as of a couple of days ago. I had to have another unfill today. This time they took out everything. I was having heartburn and reflux at night and was miserable. I can go back next week to put most back in or just wait until I'm feeling better.

I still love my band, even if it is a little fickle sometimes. I have been at my sweet spot since last month at this time and then all of a sudden...WHAMMMMM. Too tight. :thumbup: There's no rhyme nor reason for it.

I started in a size tight 18 and now is a loose 12. :thumbup: 10's here I come.

I've lost 60% of my excess weight in 8 months and I'm not one bit worried about gaining anything back. This is the first time I've given away my FAT clothes. I truly feel at peace with my weight, body etc. I'd still like to get another 25lbs off. I'm only 5'2". I'm in no rush. Would love to be a size 8 when all is said and done. The nut at the doc's office doesn't think I'll lose more than 10 more lbs. :w00t: (I'll show her) Anyway...I don't post a lot but I do lurk to see what everybody's up to.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
