Six Months gone and halfway there



Recommended Posts

I am so excited. Today is my six month Bandiversary. I weighed in this morning at 213. I'm posting the pictures we took this morning, notice I'm wearing a BELT, haven't done that since about maybe high school. Those are size 16 jeans, haven't done that in twenty years. I love my band. :)

Congrats!!! It is so good to see that it really does happen if you follow the rules. How great it will be to wear a belt and be in a size 16.

Thanks for all your support. It does feel good. I had given up all hope of ever being a healthy weight again. I'm not quite there but I feel good about myself again.

I went to my six month check up yesterday. They thought I was doing very well. Have to have a truck load of blood tests but otherwise unless I decide I need a fill, I don't have to go back until 1 year post-op. :thumbup:

I'm training for a 5K walk next month and I at least want to place, may not win yet but my goal is to finish in the top three. The last 5K I did my time was 1 hour and 23 minutes. I think I can beat that this year. :thumbup:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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.
