Happy 30th Birthday to me.



Recommended Posts

1 year ago my heart was broken because my insurance decided to fight me on surgery. I damn near gave up. Luckily I am too stubborn for that. Feb 14th I had lap band surgery..I lost 12 lbs during my pre op diet. Fast forward to today. I was a little up and down in the beginning, but on the day of surgery I weighed 405 lbs. Today I weigh 374. so total weight loss from Pre Op (Jan 31st) is 43 lbs! I have only had one fill and it was 2 ccs..Definitely no restriction yet...but I am losing about 1lb a week right now...Im losing..thats beautiful!!! I am down from a size 28 to a size 24 pants..I went from a 3x-4x shirt to a 2x in all shirts...spanks are the BEST invention ever because I def have some loose skin going on. I have lost a total of 41 inches..I feel AMAZING..I wish the number on the scale was smaller, but I know that will come with time..My calves are like rocks so I know I am gaining muscle..I just turned 30 years old on Sunday the 28th. I just havent posted anything in a while and thought I would let everyone know where I am.

I do have a question though.Are there any good work outs I can do to tone my arms up some..Skin there is ugly in a tank top!

I knew I was forgetting to write something! Anyway..In November I am participating in the Susan G Komen 3 day walk. I will be walking 60 miles in 3 days for breast cancer. My grandmother passed away from breast cancer 10 years ago April 20th. I am walking in her honor..I have to raise 2300 in order to walk..I know many people have been affected personally or know someone who has so I am posting the link to my donations page. I know none of you kinow me, but i feel like we are linked because of the band...If this isnt the place for it then please disregard it...just thought I would put it out 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!
