Does anyone ever feel like some days you can hardly eat anything and then other days you can eat much more? I have been feeling very restricted and since lunch time today I feel like I can eat anything. I am scared that something happened to my band. Anyone else ever have this? :)

Bands can be fickle and none one can explain the reason why. I have read many posts saying the same thing you have said and it happens to me that way, too.

Best wishes,

Mimi

Hi, I'm one week out from being banded and finding the same thing. Mid day a 1/2 cp of cream strained Soup feels like a gallon bubble in my chest, the next time, feels like I could eat 2 cups! Having the same worries but seems to be common, so gonna try to trust the band and relax. hang in there!

I feel exactly the same. Most days I do good but lately I have been feeling hungry. I was banded on March 5th, I guess it's time to get my first fill.

Has anyone got a fill before the 6 weeks? Does it hurt a lot?

Thanks.

I was also banded March 5th and had my first fill March 31st and a second one scheduled for April 20th. Its not the "best" feeling ordeal, but its bearable...

I ate pretty much anything I wanted 2 weeks after surgery, felt absolutely no restriction and after my 1st fill of 4cc's still feel very little restriction.. Im hoping it will get better after the next one.... Good luck.

I have my first fill next Tuesday and I want to go in there ready to ask for some serious restriction because I have been banded for 3 weeks and sometimes I feel very restricted after 1/2 cup of Protein, but most of the time, I could eat another 1/2 cup easy. Soooo, this band thing is very confusing. Sometimes I get stuck and I've even did the slimming thing ( not fun) and sometimes I can eat with no prob ( as long as I chew chew chew)....but foods that have no substance even get stuck, for example mandarin orange slices that I was feeding to my 16month old got stuck, LOL....this is a learning game and I have to say it keeps the day interesting, lol.... :thumbup:

Wow! Was your port site healed by the time you had your fill? I was banded 3/20/10 and am ready for a fill but my port site is still pretty sore so that has me a bit apprehensive.

      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!
