Oh Yea! Doing the HAPPY DANCE!



Recommended Posts

It is official! As of this morning, I've lost MORE than I STILL NEED to lose. :thumbup: Yes, I know that 72lbs is still a lot to lose and that the last half of your weight comes off slower than the first half. Still, I did lose 73lbs in just under 10 months (1 week shy of my 10 month BANDiversary). My original plan was to be at my goal weight (180lbs) by the end of 2011. I think that I'm going to challenge myself to reach my goal weight by my 2nd BANDiversary (6/8/2011). :thumbup:

PS~ I also met a mini goal today. I now weigh less than I did when I got married back in 1996. My next mini goal is to weigh 225lbs and reach my 100lbs loss mark.

Thanks everyone for the congrats! You are right SCOTTY D. I should do the HAPPY DANCE everyday. For everyday with my band is truly a great day. I sometimes get down on myself because I feel like I am not losing the weight quick enough or I am not seeing major changes in my body. In reality, I should only be losing 1-2 lbs/week as far as the scale goes (I am). As far as changes w/ my body, I am changing big time. Its just that I see myself everyday and dont really notice the differences.

      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!
