Recommended Posts

Now that we are in or around our 8 month of banding I felt the need to come back to this thread. SO

I'll be glad when I can...

*Celebrate 100lbs lost

*hit 260 so I can go make-up shopping (my reward)

*lose 10 more pounds so I can fit a skirt i just bought

*feel comfy on my next plane ride to NYC

*see the look on my in-laws faces when they see the change LOL

hopefully by then (Sept) i will be closer to 200 than 300. the last time they saw me i was in the 290's.

now that we have lost a few pounds im sure our lists have changed a little. so from my previous list i CAN:

*walk longer than 30 mins without my legs hurting

*just go shopping for smaller clothes period

*run around with my 4 y/o for longer than 5 mins

I will be glad when...

1) I am in ONDERLAND.

2) I can wear sleeveless tops.

3) I can be comfortable wearing a bathing suit in public.

4) I can complete a 5K walk/run.

5) I can wear clothing that doesnt have to be bought in a plus size store.

6) I can ride ANY ride at Kings Island or Cedar Point.

7) I can cross my legs while sitting at a table.

8) I don't have to stand so I don't have to risk breaking a chair.

9) I control my food instead of vice versa.

10) I can look in a mirror and like what I see.

      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!
