Hello Everyone!

I was just banded 3 days ago. Other than a little soreness I feel totally normally. I am hoping share my success with others who understand. Welcome all!

I was also banded on July 19. I feel the same. Sore but that's about all. I keep drinking my Protein Drinks and having broth. Can't wait to move to the next stage!!

I know I am ready to move on to the next stage but I definitely don't want to rush it. Are you feeling super hungry?

I haven't really felt hungry until today. So I added another Protein Drink in. I'm really wanting some saltiness. Everything in the liquids has been sweet. Well except for the broth but it's low sodium.

I was banded on the 31st. Had a lot of pain the first few days now its a waiting game. :) I find that I am hungry but I'm good and only drink my Protein shakes ect. I typically will not break 600 calories a day however I have noticed that I am snacking more ( sugar-free hello and popcicles)...I think its almost mindless (which is bad) but then I tell myself that it is ok because I don't eat many calories, I get large amounts of Protein with low carb and low sugar. I don't want to be OCD about food but should I try and stop the Snacks? I fear that if I do then I will fall completly off the wagon...what to do?

And by the way I've lost weight since surgery. Day of surgery 228 today 214.4

I snack a lot too! I don't eat a lot of calories, but I'm like you.... If I quit my Snacks then I'm scared of eating too much

Hello everyone i was banded July 06 I am new here... I was in pain for the first week and felt uncomfortable in the second. I was under the impression all would be okay and i would be ready for work in 1 week. It wasn't like that at all....did anyone feel like depression and anxiety the first days it was really awful for me not sure if it is just me or someone out there also felt this way.

      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!
