One Year Anniversary



Recommended Posts

Today is my one year band anniversary! I have lost a lot of weight this year and I really am thrilled with the loss, BUT....I am getting frustrated because I have been plateaued for 3 months. I still have about 15-20lbs to go.

Congrats on the milestone! Its taken me about 6 months to lose the last 25 pounds I've lost, so I feel your pain. It may have taken longer that I wanted/expected, but I know I'll get there.....eventually. So will you!!

You look great!

I'm struggling with the last 15 too. It's becoming clear to me that my calories are just right for maintaining where I'm at. :) I've got to reduce the calories...but it's hard, because I don't feel like I eat that much as it is. Anyway, I'm with you...the last 15 are hard. Maybe there's a thread out there for losing those last pounds? I haven't looked.

It's harder to stay motivated when you look and feel so much better, too. But I'm sure we can do it! It will just take more time. Good luck to you and congrats on your awesome success!

Congrats on your great accomplishment! You're ahead of me in the lap-banding process, so I don't have much advice except to keep up the good work! :cursing:

Congrats. I feel your pain as I'm struggling right now too. My surgeon said the last 25 or so would be the hardest and he wasn't kidding.

What a difference a year makes! Try not to dwell too much on the last few pounds. If you keep on track, they will eventually take care of themselves.

      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!
