What a birthday gift ! I've lost 100 LBS



Recommended Posts

I turn 26 today and when I got up to weigh myself I couldn't believe it I am officially down 100 lbs from my surgery/ starting weight !!! and 133 lbs down from my all time highest of 375 from right after I had my son (cause everyone gains 100lbs during pregnancy)

I'm so thrilled that I was banded, I'm sure that I will be healthy enough to have and enjoy many more birthdays !

Congrats and Happy Birthday! What a great present, I wish I could get a -100lbs on my birthday but it's the beginning of July and that seems unlikely at this point hehe.

This is a really old string, but I was excited to see it. I am being banded in January and part of the timing for me is that I will turn 40 in August and want to be as healthy as possible as I welcome it. I am one of the (apparently) rare souls who is estatically looking forward to this birthday.:biggrin:

      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!
