Just wondering how everyone was doing? I haven't been around for a while so I may have missed you and any recent topics.

I had some more fill last week and am definately feeling good restriction now. Finally I am only eating small portions and not needing anything else.

My wardrobe has suffered a major mass exodus and I am in constant rotation of 2 pair jeans, pair trackies and about 4 tops. I dont want to buy clothes, but am sick totally sick of the clothes I am wearing.

hope everyone is well and crusing along with their band.

ciao tutti

Hey Megsy, sounds like you are going great! I am almost there with my fills... Going in next Friday to get a touch more added. Sitting at 5.8ml now and have pretty good restriction, but could be better and also still needing to eat between meals.

I know how you feel with the clothes, but I love it at the same time! I bought some new jeans on the weekend, size 18 down from a 22-24 before the op. All my other jeans kept falling down or were so baggy they looked terrible!

Haven't really been noticing a massive difference on the scales, but my clothes and measurements tell a different story, so very happy with how I'm tracking at the moment.

Whereabouts in Melboune are you. I go to a monthly support group in Werribee and they always have a clothes swap. Its a good way of finding things that fit without having to fork out a fortune.

      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!
