I Forgot My Bandiversary!



Recommended Posts

Life is just way too hectic. I can't believe I forgot my bandiversary yesterday. It was only in reading Betty's post that I remembered. But I feel good. I've accomplished my first goal of hitting 100# by this time and I know that I will take it all the way. I feel (and look) like a totally different person. Well, not a different person per se but rather an older, wiser version of the old me, before I got lost under all that fat. I am at the same weight now that I was when I met my DH but I can say that my attitude is completley different. And he notices it too. I am no longer discontent with my weight, my looks, my life but rather much happier that I have been given this second chance and I am not going to waste it on comparing myself to someone else that may be prettier or skinnier or whatever. It's nice to be comfortable in my own skin for the first time in my life. I'm not saying that there still aren't things that I don't particularly like about myself, like the hanging skin everywhere. But I wouldn't trade that for what it was. Not on your life.

Happy belated bandiversary, and great job on the 100 plus pounds as well as the great NSV's! What an inspiration. :(

Happy Bandiversary!!!

Congrats on your FABULOUS success. You started about where I am now - so you give me great hope for my future.

I guess if Insurance pays for the surgery, I will have to put a little cash aside for my future PS!

:]

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
