Recommended Posts

hi everyone! well ive finally got my band ! iam surprised that iam not hungry , two spoons of Soup and im full!!!!!!! normally those two spoons would have been ketchup on my chips [fries] !!!!!!!!!!! half a cup of tea takes me an hour ! it used to be a pint of beer every 15mins! i think i have found diet nirvana!! i know its early days yet but i think this is going to turn my life around . i lost 56 pound pre band and when my little girl, shes 6 asked me to play football the other day id realised what i had been missing no back pain , no heavy breathing because it was no longer a struggle to walk. normally i would have been reading the paper and watched her play , but now i can take part and be the dad she deserves. not embarassed to take her to the park becaused i weighed 400lb . right got that off my chest,iam going for some [thin !!!!] soup.:drool:

Yeah!! I get banded on Monday. How was the recovery? Quick? I hope to be up and moving around pretty good in a couple of days. Wishful thinking??

Good luck fostermom.

I go in Wed the 6th to get banded. Getting anxious and nervous. I hope recovery time is swift. We must be courageous to be doing this, or else to the point of desperation.

This is my 10th day of pre op diet and for some reason today is the first day for me to actually be hungry and not so satisfied. Up until now, I have been full and not hungry.

      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!
