Almost 5 years since surgery



Recommended Posts

So glad to hear from someone who has had the band for 5 years and congradulations on your weight loss. If WW is what you think you need to lose that last 20 lbs. then go for it. Healty eating is the key. I try to eat the good food first so that I have no more room for the soft and calorie filled foods.

Cool post! Thanks for checking in and telling us your story.

I am going to WW also - mostly just for weighing in. It keeps me accountable and I am determined to make Lifetime. Gonna get that little gold star!

WW has helped me a lot this time around. I found myself just going up 1 pound and down 1 pound over and over.

If it was up to me by myself, I'd stop at about 180 pounds (cause I would think I looked hot even if I didn't --whoo hoo-- size 16 feels pretty good after being size 24!) and never get to my real and final goal of 155 and size 12.

Good for you and continued success on your final 20 pounds.

HI,

Thanks for the post. I recently also joined WW, but I am pretty early on my journey so I'm hoping that it will help me get and stay on track from the beginning.

I'll admit that I get a little maxed as I see several of my co-workers losing weight (it's an "At-Work" program) and I'm still working with my surgeon to find my correct fill level so I know that I will get there, but it does sometime make me feel a little down.

I know i'm on the right path though and recently began a Jazzercise class with some friends that has been a lot of fun so I hope that will help kick-start me as well.

Thanks for the long-term look at life with the band, I love hearing how great it has been and I hope you too can get back on the bandwagon =) and meet your goals!

Alisa

      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!
