I need some help getting motivated. I had a 13 week bedrest period (had stomach skin removal surgery that got infected and had another surgery to remove infection). After surgery they emptied my band to 3cc's. I was at 7cc's at time of 1st surgery. Those 2 surgeries were Sept and Oct 2011. Since, i had gallbladder removal in Apr 2012. i have gained 22lbs since. My band is at 6.8 but don't feel much restriction. I have no motivation since i have not worked out since Sept.....help!

Well, that's disappointing? Gaining weight sucks.

You need to start with something small like walking around your favorite park or lake. Taking small exercise steps is the first step in making yourself feel good again. Don't compare your now with your before.

Your stomach probably adjusted itself to not being filled and some of the wrinkles and twists have gone away or are in different spots now. Ask for another small fill if you think it's necessary?

Just do it all slowly. No rush.

Gee Wiz, that doesn't sound like fun <_<

Well, my motivation came from our Family Doctor after this winter of what we thought was a heart attack. He said, "loose weight or die!"

My thought is there is to much to live for and I want to make it another 23 years to make our children and grand children nuts!

      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.

      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!
