I'm in Austin, much nicer than Houston not so humid. Lived in Houston as a young child (moved to SoCal at 12).

I have a 10cc band. It took almost 8 months and several fills for me to get to the green zone, funny I was less than 20 pounds from goal by then. I currently have about 7cc in my band but you will find that the amount for the green zone will very from person to person.

You are in bandster hell, it sucks. Just focus on Protein first, 1 to 1 1/2 cups of food per meal, small bites, chewing till mush and eating slow. If you do need a snack make it a Protein snack (cheese, greek yogurt, etc). You will see results.

Good luck to you.

      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!
