This morning I woke up super tight. No worries just amazed that I haven't had a fill in months and felt loose, then bam tight.

I drank hot tea this morning and I feel better, but this just goes to show that just when you think you know your band it shows you that you don't!

I hear you! I had my second fill on 2/25 and it seems now I am really feeling the restriction. I'm so tight that I'm just eating Breakfast now. I seem to have problems with a lot of stuff initially, but then I loosen up. I manage to get those calories and the Protein in somehow LOL

The band is a fickle thing. I've been banded over a year and it never ceases to amaze me. I had good restriction for a few months,then decided to get a small fill. The first 2 days after the fill I could eat ANYTHING and not feel hungry at all! I even called the nurse thinking she had taken some out instead of putting some in as I hadn't been that hungry in MONTHS!!

Then BAM, about 2 weeks later, holy restriction Batman! I could hardly eat scrambled eggs. Then the next day, the sky's the limit.

In fact, from May-December I had no fill at all, and would have TOTALLY random episodes of restriction. There is no rhyme or reason with my band. I just follow wherever it leads :o

      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'. ???

        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!
