newly banded

Welcome home !!! are both newly bands..I was banded 11/11...It's pretty surreal but I'm taking advantage of this liquid phase. I think it will provide the quickest weight loss opportunity and I do realize that we have to be carefrul, stay hydrated and get some calories in....So far ..so good...Glad to hear you are on this ride also...Hopefully, after we get to our goal weight this ride becomes our life and we can just mellow out..I think it will be earlier but I don't mellow easily..Except for a few drinks which will be a long way off...Maybe exercise will fill that void ..You are a great writer so writing will be a good outlet for you...Good luck ..

You crack me up Greg... Well... I'm already half cracked... but never-the-less. ;)

Ryan... so glad you are back safe and sound in bandland! I am still thankful that I had a private room... I was in bed... out of bed... in bed... out of bed... pacing the halls...crazy outta my mind until I got out of that place! I kept feeling like I needed to attend to the beeping IV's and call lights that went off continuously all night long. There really is no place like home! Welcome back!

"No! That Can't Be Shrinking, Too!" NTCBST

What do you think that the day was like when god created man??

"Let man gain weight EVERYWHERE but right there. Let that thing fill with blood, robbing his brain of vital blood and oxygen making him unable to make a decision in that state!!!!!!! ;)

Not bad for only a rib to work with, huh?

Is that what they mean by, I have a bone to pick with 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!
