Hello all,

I am so excited today, I just have to share! I have lost over 40 pounds now since August, and I have been down lately thinking no one even can tell.

So in the time I am the lowest I had to go to a business meeting. I was not myself, people commented how down I was. And THEN my friend looked at me and said "You've lost a sh*tload of weight" They way she said it I was just cracking up. But I was so happy that someone finally noticed. And then the woman to her right said "I thought so too, but I didn't want to ask!"

That feels better than the clothes that feel better, the smaller size all of it! Someone finally noticed! lol...I just had to share!

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Wow 40 pounds since August!!!! I was just banded on 9/11. I really have no clue how much to anticipate by for example Christmas.....I am hoping for maybe 20 by Thanksgiving and this means going by all the rules and exercising!!

I too was banded in Aug, but I have only lost 7lbs since sx. Have you had a fill as of yet?

I can't wait until someone tells me I lost weight also. You must be floating on air! Congrads!!!!!!

I just had my first fill Tuesday but it was only .5 ccs because of the weight I have lost on my own. I tell you that cardio is the key. I work out everyday 45-60 minutes cardio. I also count calories, so it is almost like I don't have the band at all....lol.....it took my surgery for me to get serious.

Don't worry it will happen. When did you have surgery?

I don't know if you were speaking to me or not, but I was banded on the 21 of aug. My dr said not to exercise until now. I walked but didn't do anything yet. I am starting at curves tomorrow. Hope that will start my weight loss. I'm still a happy camper!

      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!
