Hello Everyone!

It's been quite a while since I've checked in here and I realized I've missed it! I am wondering if anyone else has trouble with cold stuff. Anything ice cold gets stuck! I mean anything....even water! I find myself having to drink room temp drinks. Right now I'm fighting sliming with one teaspoon of yogurt!! I take that back...icecream or popsicles go down fine.

I haven't had a fill in 7 weeks and was supposed to go 2 days ago but I put it off for this reason. I have very little trouble with everything else....within reason.

Any wisdom on this????????

Shelly

I have the same problem. I can not drink cold drinks from the refrigerator. I have to let it get room temperature. Also if my food gets to cold I can not eat. If I try and reheat it with the microwave it won't go down. Yes I can eat ice cream and ice pops with no problem at all. Curious to hear what others have to say about it also. I was banded a month after you 9/22/10. How is your weight loss? I have lost 80 lbs.

CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you!

I began this journey as a low BMI bandster. I started at 175lbs wearing a sz 14 (too tight) or a 16. I am currently at 140lbs and can wear a sz 6 or 8 depending on how its made. I truly thought this would be a lot faster for me but my Dr keeps telling me I'm right on track percentage wise. He says I should be 120lbs but honestly I'll be 100% thrilled at 130! I've only lost a couple pounds a month for the past few months. I'm not complaining because normally I would be back on the uphill climb of the weight rollercoaster I have been on my entire life.

Keep up the good work!

Congratulations to you too. My BMI was 51, now it is down just under 40. So I do feel good. As for you the slower you lose it, the longer you will keep it off. I am in a 16 now, trying to get to size 14 before my 1 year anniversary. I got to incorporate exercising. I really hate to exercise. I was starting to walk more, but in NY we have heat advisories going on for the next few days, since I am asthamatic I won't be walking outside much.

      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.

        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!
