Can't believe it's been two months



Recommended Posts

Seems like yesterday I was stressing about my insurance approval. Today I woke up to realize that two months ago I got my band. Wow. I even took a picture today. The first picture was taken at my highest weight last November, just as I was starting my journey. The second picture was taken this morning. 48 lbs lighter (according to my bathroom scale. Won't be official until Saturday when I weigh in at Curves.):lol:

It's actually only 35 pounds since surgery. I lost 13 pounds on the pre-op diet.

Still though, that's super!!! You can really tell the difference. I have to lose about 60 pounds before people start noticing. Maybe I'll post some 60 pound gone photos one of these days! =)

That's a fantastic weight loss. You look so great. My 8 week bandiversary is coming up soon too. I doubt I will have lost that much though!

Keep up the good work.

      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!
