1-der Land!!!



Recommended Posts

I have made it to the land of the hundred pounders...

I have never in my life thought I would ever see the other side of 200. I haven't been this small since I was 14 or 15 yrs old. I am smaller now than when I met my husband. And I'm still going down. At 87lbs gone I only have 33lbs to go. I have to say that when I had this surgery done, I never though I would get any where near my goal and now it's just with-in reach... YEA!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all that are here and read these threads...I think that it is wonderfull that we all have each other to get through this major life change that we have chosen...

I'm so excited for you! I made it to wonderland about 3 years ago...I think I was at 199 for about five minutes before the weight started coming back. Isn't it great to know that our lap bands give us a fighting chance to never have to being a deuce again??? Again, my congrats....I can't wait to join you!

Thanks for the kind words... I would have never been able to do this with out my band... I love it.

I had to go on Friday and have .5cc taken out. I was to tight from my fill last Wednesday. I went 10 days and could hardly eat anything. I lost 8lbs during those 10 days though. That's not safe, I know, but we went camping this weekend and I could have put it right back on, I was eating the whole time... I know it was bad, but it felt so good to eat... I'll go back to my normal eating habits tomorrow :laugh:

      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.

      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!
