Haven't posted in a while but just wanted to share. I am almost 10 months post op and down 55 pounds. While there are days I hate this band (like now as I'm trying to eat chicken breast) the positives definitely outweigh the negatives!

You look beyootyful ! Way to go ! If its any help I cant do chicken breast or pork chops ( too dry) but I do just fine with chicken thighs and pork loin. Biiiig difference in texture !! Keep up the good work, I figure my day is only 5% negitive by being banded, but 95% positive by the weight loss and feeling healthier, so i look at the bright side . Good luck !

Thats a bunch of weight. Better than gaining weight and a good amount monthly to lose. Nice and slow, 4-6 pounds a month is great. Gets the body in a nice rhythm, not too much weight loss but just right over many months. This is what most doctors want us to do. We learn about what we can eat and make better choices, most of the time.

Congratulations!

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.

      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!
