where are all the January people??



Recommended Posts

I'm working late tonight so I have some spare time to go over some old posts. Just wanted to say hello. Where is everyone? How is everyone doing now that we are so close to our one year Bandiversary? What are your holiday plans and strategies to stay focused??

All of my family is local so will do the visitation to both my mom and dad's sides of family. That means food a plenty which is my family's specialty. And Curves has the nerve to be closed Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas along with Christmas day. I was bagging up some old clothes on Saturday to take to Goodwill and caused me to think on all the good stuff that has happened in 2007 thanks to my band. I am definitely looking forward to 2008 and celebrating by 40th birthday on August 14. I feel as if I will be 30 or 25 and not 40.:whoo:

Hi Chrishell!

We are here! We all tend to post on the same thread (the one titled "Anyone Here") even though we have a whole board to ourselves.

I have to admit I wish I had lost a little more this year, but I have no one (and no-THING) to blame but myself. There is still time though. My strategy for the holidays is just to stick to what works, watch my portions, be careful with Desserts, and keep exercising.

Glad you checked in!

Maria

      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!
