It can be really difficult. You should try to stick to liquids. If you happened to have a "stuck" episode and ended up throwing up your band could slip quite easily. It takes time for the band to "seat" itself and kind of heal into place. You do not what to jeapordize this. (anyway, that is what I have been told) On the other hand, my dr allowed mushies after just one week. So if you really can not stick to the liquid you should stick with cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.

You really need to get some kind of control because no matter how tight your band is or how much restriction you have you can eat things that are bad or wrong choices and it will affect your weight loss. Really think about why you did this and try to get it under control.

I wish you luck, it is not easy... I have never worked so hard at losing weight in my life and I am so glad I did it.

You can do it too!

      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!
