HELP - I'm getting complacent!



Recommended Posts

This is a great thread!! I have been inspired by it. I too always love Luluc's comments. I haven't reached a point where I am losing very much. I was banded on 6/23 and maybe have lost 2 lbs. I can only get a fill once a month. Suzanne-- I am reminded of Kathy Griffin the comedian who says everyone loves Oprah when she is fat because they can relate to her and are not threatened by her (I wonder why she doesn't try the band). I think the people at work are threatened by your weight loss and jealous. I'm sorry to say that many people I know are not happy for other people's success. It could be promotions, weight loss or a new love, many people begrudge other people. These people are probably not happy with themselves. I do agree that when you tell people you need to be healthy they seem to respect that more than I want to look good. Suzanne you are doing great, I am so impressed that you take the stairs up and down 10 flights for the bathroom. Wow-- you are motivated and succeeding. I'm with you--I hate writing down everything.

Hi everyone. Well a few days of counting have confirmed what I suspected. I am eating too many carbs and have slipped away from really focusing on my protien. I'm trying to get back to my original band eating habits and will continue to record my food for the rest of the week.

I'll see my doctor Monday for a follow-up, so that should help inspire me.

I'll keep you posted on my progress this week! Thanks for the support everyone!

      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!
