100 pounds down! Never going back again!



Recommended Posts

I'm 9 days shy of my 10-month bandiversary, and at my weekly weigh-in this morning, the scale said 190. That's 101 pounds gone--so excited!

This has been such an amazing journey, and I am grateful to everyone in my life, including all the wonderful people on this forum, for so much support and encouragement along the way. I couldn't have made it this far without you!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Your success story is truly inspiring and motivating. I was just banded on 11-9-09 and everything has been going good so far. Do you have any suggestions, ideas, thoughts for the newly banded. What kind and how much excersise do you do? Do you have certain foods that you stay away from? Certain amount of daily caloric intake? Any advice would be great.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
