GUARNTEED weight loss.



Recommended Posts

Sorry for the “teaser” subject line!:P

If you want to lose weight; get the flu! I came down with the flu on 12/23, fever, chills and sore muscles.

Temp spiked at 102.7 but I am feeling much better. I have lost about 6 lbs over the last 2 days.

Before you scold me I have kept up my fluids drinking 2-32oz G2 Gatorades and several hot teas and a Propel or two each day (my wife helps reminding me to hydrate!). I just have not been hungry. Of course I had my 3rd fill on 12/17 for a total of 8cc in a 14 cc band. I have lost 50 lbs! Wooo Hooo!

I got the flu too! It has been terrible, but I've still been hungry. I have had to feed my family though, maybe that's part of it and I also have not had a fill yet. I'm usually a chronic weigher (like 4-5 times a day) but I haven't been on the scale for 2 days!

I won't scold you, I had the stomach flu and had the same drop in pounds. I gained half back with in the week. However, it was a little quicky drop.

      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.

        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!
