For everyone. I am digging through old photos and found this one. My wedding day. I got married at Weeki Wachee, an old Florida attraction called the City of Live Mermaids. A walk down memory lane. May 28, 1983

This is to all you wise bandsters. For the last 6 weeks I have been having this horrible pain that goes from my left lower back around to my abdomin (sp).:tongue: At first I thought it was just cramps (even tho I haven't had them in years). It was once every few days, then every couple, then daily. It seems to happen after I have ate, doesn't matter what or how much. I have gone to the Dr. he thought it was kidney stones, had xray, bloodwork, CT scan and they all show nothing, now I am scheduled for an Upper GI on Friday. Just wondering if anyone else had these symptoms?

I'm glad you are going to the doctor's office for testing. The CT scan, bloodwork, can rule out anything biologically wrong with you.

I had the pain you describe in the shoulder after my banding, starting about two months after until about six months after but it wasn't anything daily. That you say it happens around the time you eat makes me wonder if it happens at a specific meal say Breakfast moreso than lunch or dinner? Mine occurred moreso at the first meal of the day. I cut back on solids and increased softer foods intaking yogurt, melon, softer meats slowly cooked...my steam cooked turkey mostly. I hope this helps.

Thanks Miss dee. Here's a cool thing . . . I didn't even take pics or measurements last month cuz I didn't really lose any weight in December and didn't lose a ton in January either. But I was looking at my pics from the beginning of December and I looked noticeably bigger than I do now. So I took my measurements and I've actually lost two inches from my breasts, waist, and hips since then. That's waayyy more than I usually lose over a two month period. It made me so happy!!!

I'm three pounds from my challenge goal. I've been soooo sick the past four days. I took a photo of myself last night...dang, look at my face. Yeah.

This cold weather is not flying. It was 37 degrees last night. This poor Floridian's bones are cracking and spine is screaming.

Wow, Lap. That's a great pic!!

Umm, I'm not anywhere close to a 9. More like a 16. I still have a long ways to go if I'm ever gonna be a 9!

I would die to be a size 9, but it's not going to happen this year.

So I decided to keep my fill appt because my TOM bumped me back up to 270 YIKES!! I am down to 268 today (just what I was at Christmas), but it just seems like I am stagnant. Oh well. That's what fills are for, and I am going to bump up the exercise until then.

Good idea to get another fill. That is what they're for! I'm really happy I went ahead and got another one. You may want to keep trak of your measurements. I was shocked to see that I was still losing inches even though I wasn't losing pounds.

Patty, beautiful pic. What a difference!

Well next Tuesday I will be getting my second fill; hopefully, that will force me to perform a little better than I have been lately!

      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!
