I'm Worh The Pain



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone my name is April I've got my band on 6/5/12 and so for I've lost 100 pounds :-)

I walk 4 miles a day and workout with a personal trainer. It's hard and I have to watch what I eat but I'm happy I made this life change. Somedays I don't feel like I'm doing a enough but thank God my hubby cheers me on. Right now I'm stuck and have not lost anything in the last two weeks but I can not give up and I will not give up

Congratulations April!!!

Yes, from what I hear at times after losing a lot of weight you will plateau! Now what you have to do is start playing around with your calories and fat grams. You can try 'uping' your calories one day, going back to your normal caloric intake and then try it again over to see if that works. How many fat grams are you getting in per day? Remember the body needs healthy fat to burn!

I try and get between 25-30 grams of healthy fat per day (according to my age and weight). Also, remember Protein is always first and important to burn fat as well. Have you tried tracking everything you eat daily?? if not you should do so, there are several wonderful apps out there such as "myfitnesspal" and 'Loseit (my personal fav). Its really the only way you will know how much you are eating on a daily basis so that you can adjust and tweak to make it work.

Best of luck,

WOW!!!! Congratulations! !!

I've heard others talk about upping the calories for a day, back to normal & lower than normal for a day, then back to regular calories again. They say it jump starts that plateau.

Good luck, I know you'll continue to do well!

April, wow you look incredible! Congratulations on your success so far. Iris so frustrating when the scale doesn't move. Have you taken your measurements? I take mine once a month and i have found that when the scale doesn't move the inches do. Keep doing what you are doing, you will get there.

      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!
