Almost Our 1St Bandiversary!



Recommended Posts

Long time, no post --sorry!!

How is everybody doing? I'm slowly (emphasis on slowly) losing, but not gaining -- and as I've read in other posts, I am WAY more fit than I was last year. I am running four days a week and just completed my first half marathon in January. Never in a million years would I ever have been able to do that. I hope everybody is doing well. I *hope* to reach goal by summer and then onward to maintenance.

Keep in touch. (((HUGS))) to you all! smile.png

I'm not sure I can even respond. But I'm here. I'm not doing very well and am up 8 lbs....very depressed.

TxMama ~ You shouldn't be upset at all! I think we've all had our ups, downs, and plateaus with the band. I plateaued for 5 months or so and am just now getting back into hard workouts. I ended up going back to the pre-op diet for 10 days and that kick started me again...it was hard, but I finally got off of my plateau.

Keep us posted -- you are doing well -- just think, you are still about 30 lbs. down -- and that's awesome! (((HUGS)))

The closer you get to your goal, the slower and harder it is to get those last few pounds off.

Believe me, I know!

Hello all!

Hope everybody is doing well out there. The February 2011 Bandsters have been so quiet. :huh:

Kiskis ~ You are doing so AWESOME!! I'm still about 25 pounds from goal, but chugging along. :blink: I agree -- the closer you get, the harder it is...though I am totally determined. I am so proud of you -- onward to goal and maintenance we go!! :D

I want to lose 50 more so I have a long road ahead yet.....

      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!
