Hi big. Sorry you're having a tough time. You HAVE to make the wise food choices, even with a band. So make a fresh start and stay away from the bad stuff. You can do it!

Oh man! Halloween threw me off big time. But now I know I have to fight through the craving and get on with it!! Start doing some visualizing - seeing yourself with a small belly!! :tongue_smilie:

A few days off the sweets and you will no longer crave them!!

We can do this!!!

C'mon that's the sugar talking!!!!!

Knock back two big glasses of Water, turn off your computer, and go for a one hour walk.

When you get back look at yourself in the mirror, slap yourself silly, and then swear to yourself that this is a fresh start.

Whatever works do get you mentally back in the game.... DO IT!!!!

Sorry to hear that you are having problems. I wish the band was a magic wand but we both know it isn't one. It's a tool to help you but you have to help it too. You can't sit around eating candy and expect to lose weight. I know it's hard when children are sick and working second shift isn't much easier but you have to take the steps to take care of yourself first and foremost if you want to continue to lose.

Having said all of that, I know that you can do it. Just jerk yourself up and start again. Put the past behind you and look to the future....a slimmer you.

Now, get busy and do it. Do it for yourself.

just like everyone says, the band is a tool to help us. i know what you mean though. i can be hard, but we need some good ol' will power. i find that i don't have any reactions to food yet, not to sugar, meat or fats. so that gets scary for me. i haven't had a fill as of yet so i don't even have any restrictions. i am relying on basic will power. i thought i would have more problems with food than i am. but i am staying away from the junk food and candy especially. good luck

      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!
