I want to join! I would like to lose 15lbs. That will put me at 176....inconceivable. I need a push and this will give me a reason to not put off exercise!

I want to get in on this challenge too! I really need it.

I was banded on 10/08.....have lost 24 pounds to date and need something to motivate me. This is just the thing.

Lots of fellow banders to keep me accountable! :)

My goal is 12 pounds. I plan to reach this goal by exercising and staying away from those sweets that go down so easy!

Much success to everyone. Together we can do it! :tongue_smilie:

OK, first post and I'm in.

I was banded on June 9, 2008 at 362lbs maximum. Last time I weighed in was December 23 at 280lbs.

I'll go for 250lbs - or 30 lbs by Valentines day. It's aggressive, but I think I could pull it off if I add exercise to my day from now on.

Looking forward to reporting back.

Oh, BTW, the picture is at 60lbs down. I'll update on Valentines day.

Well, I have been doing 15-20lbs a month, so a challenge is to hit 30 in about 6 weeks.

Excercise, no alcohol (the holidays) and no treats - I should be able to achieve it or close to it.

I also have a fill on Feb 5

Good luck

Good to hear from everyone. It sounds like this is hitting home at a good time for everyone. I'm pulling for each and everyone to achieve their goal. Whether it's 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 pounds that Soon to be thin to targeting, all will be for our health. Fat will be a thing of our past.

I had a bad weekend because for some reason, I ate what seemed like to be more than my 3 oz. each meal. I didn't get full. I have my first fill on 1/25 so hopefully that will take care of not feeling full. It will also be good to get back to a exercise routine tomorrow. Since christmas I haven't walked at all and I irritated at myself for letting me get lazy.

So for me this will get me back into the routine of losing.

      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!
