lapband drama... yes i'm a cheater



Recommended Posts

So I finally got my date of the surgery Sept 29th 2010

I WAS excited,now i'm worried about every little thing.My husband is beyond supportive.The worrying made me cheat on the liquid diet.I haven't had anything to unhealthy like a nice piece of cheesecake or anything but i have had like beef Jerky, chicken, oh and someday i did have a churro, which made me sick.I'm trying again tomorrow with positive thoughts, i have to find something new and fun to do to keep my mind off of food.My husband being away is another thing that makes me depressed, its so much easier when he's right here,he will be coming home to a new woman in Dec hopefully he's home sooner.Military life.. geez

It's great to have somewhere to go and express how i'm really doing instead of pretending i'm always fine

My husband wants me to Tape My journey and youtube it but i don't think so... WELL HMM MAYBE LOL

ANYWAYS I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING GREAT :thumbup:

I too am a cheater. I am supposed to be on Optifast for a week. I lasted 2 days. My mind is now in 'eat what you can before its too late' mode. How sad is that? I am being banded in 3 days. Its not a good start but I guess if I could stick to a diet, I wouldn't need a band.

It sounds like you have been a lot better than me. Don't beat yourself up about it. When you get your band things will change. Good luck to you.

      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!
