My first goal was to get below 253. That was the lowest i could get with diet & exercise.

My #1 goal is to get to 149 pounds, the weight I was the day I found out I was pregnant with my son. That was 6 years ago and as you can see by my ticker, I'm at 156.4 as of this morning. I want to accomplish this by April 14 which is my 31st birthday. I started at 205 on May 17, 2011, was banded on July 5, 2011, and have lost a total of 48.6 pounds since I started my lapband journey!

Good luck.

My first goal is to get to a metric two figure number... 99! I was banded last Saturday at 110 kg, I now weigh 106 kg... 7 more to go until my first goal.

Second goal is to get below 78 kg, which is the furthest I was ever able to go on my own with diet and exercise.

Third goal is... well, my 30th birthday is in September. I have to see how the band works and how much I can realistically manage before my birthday, but I definitely have a goal in mind for my birthday.

Fourth goal is 65 kg. Then I'll be at my ideal weight, 45 kg down from surgery. I don't know when I want to get there, just that I want to get there. So that's the ultimate goal.

      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.

      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!
