Hey all, I have read posts here before, obtained info, and been grateful for what I've read as I don't really have anyone to talk to about my journey.
Brief history:
lap band surgery mid 2010.
Started at 210
lost A LOT of weight--- lowest weight 130
had a baby girl summer 2015
top preg weight 154.
NOW, have gained some weight, and am now 160
I weigh more than i did when i gave birth
I have a hard time losing weight now
i feel hungry and can eat more
from time to time, i puke bc it just doesn't sit well w me
but for the most part, i can eat
i feel so so so awful bc i feel like I'm going backwards.
saw my surgeon today. he said that i need to go to radiology to see if a fill is a good idea, but i am already filled to a put 8CC in a 10CC band.
I'm thinking dilated esophagus. He said I was a little/slightly when I tried to get a fill back in Oct. of 2017.
i guess we will see in two weeks.
NOW, w Keto and all this stuff going around, I want to know if anyone has fasted for extended periods of time. Like, for 16-18-20 hours at a time. I am DESPERATE. I want to be able to slim my esophagus so I can get a fill. Does fasting or just being on a strict liquid diet help my esophagus become 'normal' again? Does it really help w weight loss?
I feel so discouraged.
I want to look the way I looked at 130 lbs. I felt great, so much confidence, so much drive...
