Help...I have'nt been on the sight for a long, long, time. I was banded a year ago in Jan. I started out of the gates just fine, doing what I was supposed with diet and excercise. I lost my mother suddenly 6 months ago and fell off the wagon completely. I did not care about anything. I am very depressed because this is a year later and I wanted to have a substantial amount of weight off and of course do not.

Any suggestions for getting back on? I need help!!!!:help: :help: :help:

Just pick yourself up and begin anew. That is the wonderful thing about the band, it is there waiting for the time to be right for you. ~Mandy

The great thing about the band, it is always there when your ready to use it. So, lets get started. Its a new year, and you can do this!

PS - I am sorry for the loss of your mother, I know that must have been difficult.

Hey Kim

I lost my mom too. I also gained most of my weight after the loss of my parents. I was banded in Oct and I always think about my mom and how she didn't want weight to be an issue for me like it was for her. When she was alive she always said "don't make the same mistakes I made".

Anyway, I know feel like I am taking control of my life again and I just KNOW that my mother is proud of me for doing it!

good luck with your journey. Its a long road but one worth traveling!

Kim..Don't beat yourself up over it. I know what it is like to be an emotional eater. Even someone who isn't, could tend to look to food with such a great loss. Look on the bright side, you have still lost 31lbs. It's a new year and you can't go back so just start from here so you don't look back next year with the same regrets. I wish you all the best and I am truly sorry for the loss of your mother.

I would see if you need a fill first. That should help you out. YOu can do this. Just take a mental note as to why you were banded in the first place. Love your band and treat it with respect. YOu will bounch back quicker than you think. Good luck.

      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.

        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!
