July Butterflies Master Thread



Recommended Posts

:) Congrats to all you bandiversary folks out there. I'm not until the 26th. Doesn't it feel good to have lost all the weight we have? I got a .25 fill last Tuesday. I can already tell I'm not eating as much. Had a quarter of a hamburger on ww bun for dinner and 5 or 6 zucchini fries. Filled me to the brim. It is so much fun to buy smaller clothes. My feet have even gotten smaller. Went from a 7w to a 6 or 6 1/2med.

Have a great Independence Day. God Bless America!

Congrats to all as each of our days aproach. I went shopping to get a couple of things to wear on our 4th of July getaway. I found myself with a NSV Size 10 jeans!! All I could think was a size 9 is just around the corner, I can't remember the last time I bought single didget clothing. I hope ya'll have a great weekend!!!!

I'm here. I went to my dr. yesterday and I had 7.4 in a 10 band. I was having a lot of trouble eating Protein and was eating more slider foods. They removed .7 of Fluid and I am already doing better. Hope to be at goal by this time next year!

Good to hear from you. Wow! you have a lot of fill. I know, when I needed an unfill.........I was miserable. Pb'ing all the time. Now I am trying to build back. I go on the 29th hopefully for my last fill for awhile. I too, hope to have reached goal by the end of next year.

I'm here. Not losing weight, but not gaining either. I am STILL not exercising.:confused: I just feel lazy. I am happy with my loss and just hope to keep going, albeit, slowly this next year. 80lbs isn't too bad.

I have roughly the same size fill as you do but I am still trying to get used to it

I'm also waiting for that blasted ticker to move. my fill is still at 5.2 I'm gonna stop being a chicken and call for an appt. Monday morning. I haven't had one since the begining of Feb. I just wish my fill center had fluro. I would like to see whats going on in there. It's kinda hard for me to guess when I have enough or to much, but so be it, it is what it is. And as far as the exercise I wish I could really get into it but it just doesn't seem to go that way. I see people getting into running and so on, It sounds great but when I try most exercise I just don't get that warm fuzzy feeling they seem too. Oh well, I'll keep trying. Congats to all.

      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!
