7 Months already



Recommended Posts

It's my 7 month bandiversary today! I saw my Bariatric Nurse and Surgeon for a check up this morning. They are extremely happy with my weightloss so far. They asked how much more I was hoping to lose, I said another 40lbs to which they said no, that's too much. They said I was to get to a weight I was happy with and could maintain. I asked about PS too. Again, I could have a TT now but if I am still losing weight there wouldn't be any point. I think possibly another 20lbs or so and we'll look into scheduling a TT.

WOW - 7 months, and the time really has gone quickly, hasn't it?

Congratulations on your weight loss to date, and keep us posted on the TT plans. I am thinking of it (longingly), but that's a way off - both for the weight I have to lose, and the money to afford it.

One goal at a time...

I still have 23 more days to go before it's my 7 month anniversary (the sucky part about getting banded at the end of February), but I hope I can lose at least 4 more pounds by that time. I doubt I will since the way my body works is weird.. I won't lose anything for a few weeks then I drop 4 lbs.. or I go up and down the same two pounds and then drop a few out of no where. I guess it all evens out eventually though.

I'll probably need a TT, but I"m planning to try and get prego sometime next year and don't want to get the TT until after I have a baby... Man, I can't wait until my doctor tells me 40 more lbs is too much. HA HA HA! that day won't happen for quite a while, but I can dream. :party:

Congrats Sadie! Must feel amazing to have someone tell you that would be too much to lose. You've done a great job losing it. You'll have to keep us up to date on the TT too. I know many of us are very curious about it and how to get insurance to cover it. I know I'm planning to run to a doctor with every little rash.

      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'. ???

        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!
