51Lbs lost since Surgery March 7th



Recommended Posts

Whew! it's been forever since I have been on here. Missed all of the March bandsters..... I have been so busy....

How is everyone doing? I am so excited:lol: about the success of my band, it's so much better than I thought.

I had a fill April 26th on my Bday..., didn't hurt at all, but I will say that is very different than the surgery, that's a whole different ball game....

As of last week "saturday" I have lost 51lbs :thumbup:since my surgery 2 months ago, and I have gone from a 18/20 lane byrant to a (14) anywhere... .... Yippie!!! :smile: of course I didn't do it with the band alone, at first I started walking for an hour a day then I joined my local YMCA and have been working out at the gym 6 days week for 1.5 hours day, most importantly I have cut out white carbs.... thanks to some good advice... How's everyone else doing?

Gosh, that's FANTASTIC! Nice work!

I'm down 37 lbs since getting banded on March 6. I've not been eating vary carefully - I'm satisfied by my rate of weight loss. And for me, because it's going to be such a long process because of my high start weight, I'm happy to take it easy at first.

Wow! That's great too.. ! Congratulations.....

I have been working harder on this, cause I will be seeing my husband in 5 weeks, and he doesn't know of all the new changes I have made.... I am so excited.....

I am doing my own BODY MAKEOVER<! Just wish I could do the 10 years and younger show.... lol... It would be easier... I have been tanning everyday so I have gone from LILLY white to a medium tan, and I have a chemical peel appt, as well as Laser hair removal, and a Body wrap, and a custom hair appt., totally changing that, currently bleach blonde "going honey natural" and a teeth whitning.... ... This stuff is expensive, but I haven't seen my husband in 8 months... and since my life has always been about how BIG I was I figured I would treat my self.. Good luck......... and way to go on your loss......

I love that story!

I tend to avoid people I know who haven't seen me in a while - I hate the look of surprise and concern on people's faces when they see how much weight I've gained. I love the idea of remaking yourself - physically, at least - to surprise someone.

And it sounds like you've gone all the way for it!

Your husband is a lucky guy to have a partner who's so serious about this process!

Innertube, I am so proud of you for taking the time (and money) to do that for yourself (and hubby). I am learning, slowly, that we need to focus more of our energy on what makes us feel good! PLEASE post pics so we can see how things turnned out!

      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!
