Hello Brandy. I read your blog and enjoyed it. Your wedding dress looks great. I have lost 64 pounds in one year. My weight loss is slow. I have went from 214 to 150. I am 52 years old and I think the age has to do with the slow weight loss, but I am happy to lose what I have. Seems like I lose alot in the legs, face, arms and neck, but the stomach and breast are going down very slow. I would like to go somewhere and get a fitting for a new bra. I have no idea what new size I would wear, because you can't try them on in the stores. I may go to Victoria Secrets and see what they can do.....Good luck and you are looking good. I will try to post some before and after pictures of me later. By the way, how do you post the ticker weight scale on your mail?....

I buy both the choc. and vanilla. I add 1/2 teaspoon of Peanut Butter with the vanilla and some crushed ice and it is like a milkshake. You can use the vanilla and add 1 pack of orange crystal light with a scoop of sugar free ice cream and it tastes like a dreamsickle bar. You can add any flavor of drink mixes and it works out fine. The unflavored you sprinkle on your foods and you will never know....I order mine online and it is delivered with 2-3 days. In the choc. I have even tried 1/2 teaspoon of Decaf instant coffee and it is like a mocha.

Thanks. I'll try that brand. I heard Oprah (so you know it's true!! :thumbup: ) say that Skinny Cow makes great sugar free products. I plan on trying that as well. I've GOT to get ahold of this before I'm back where I started. I'm trying to hold off until after Christmas to get a fill. I've got 4cc in a 10 cc band. What do you have?

I have tried the skinny cow too. But be careful and check the carb. content. I was suppose to go for a fill on Dec. 23rd but the dr's office called yesterday and changed by appt. for Dec. 30. And, as far as the size of my band; when I asked Dr. Tompkins he said I had the "standard". I don't know what cc's that is. I have had 4 fills and each time he puts in 1/2 to 1 cc. I am going to ask this time and see what I have.

      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.

      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!
