I don't remember exactly what mine holds but I think it was around 10 so I have a ways to go. I've felt restriction since day one though even after swelling went down, it just seems I learn to adjust fairly fast and now just mostly struggle with head hunger.....for some reason I have deeloped a continuous craving for apple pie go figure. I used to throw them away cause they would just get wasted, now I can't wait till the holidays thats my treat LOL welcome to the thread, we don't post a lot but we are here if you need us

Hi to all my fellow Jan 23rd bandsters!!

I just saw that this room has been super quiet lately and figured I would help out!

Weight loss has been really slow for me lately and I have lost like 7 lbs in 4 months. I think some of it is becuase I had to have my gall bladder out and it took me a long while to get back in the gym. Oh well, im back now and trying to work my butt off...literaly.

i have lost a lot and am in a size 12/14 now and everyday I feel a little closer to my dream of becoming a police officer.

Hope everyone is doing great and I hope to hear from everyone!

Sorry you had to deal with the gall bladder during your weight loss but maybe it had a silver lining....stuff like that is an unfortunate part of life and you still lost even if it wasn't as much as u wanted. 12-14 I'd say its time to apply for that dream job!!:tongue_smilie:

I totally agree...Lets see, I've been at goal weight for about 6 months now, I'm suppose to be toning up, which I have to admit is as hard as everyone said it would be at my age and much much harder than I thought. I can't afford plastic surgery so I'm learning to deal with ummm extra skin...Not complaining, I've learned a few tricks with dressing that help a lot. My health has improved so much, loosing the weight has made such a huge change in my life. I find it easy to eat right now....I'm not against the occasional treating (some call cheating) myself but I am very aware of what I eat, when I eat it, and how I eat it. The lb was the perfect tool for me. If I can remember how I'll try n update my pic. I never thought I'd be one that said I got down to a size 4 but I am, and very proud of it

      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!
