I was banded November 9 and I've lost 40 pounds. I already had my first fill and I dont feel like it did anything. I am still able to eat the same amount. I am also falling off track since we have left over holiday foods. Should they be thrown away?! I also gained 3 pounds and i feel like im not helping myself. Anyone feeling the same?

I have been feeling the same way. Holiday foods got me a bit off track too, but I'm regrouping and starting this new year right. Hope things work out for you. :)

thanks I am glad i'm not the only one. How many fills did it take you to finally feel the right amount of restriction? I currently have 3.8 cc in my band and i feel the same as I did after surgery. I had 2.8 already in my band from surgery.

I have 7cc's in my 14 cc band right now. That's a total of 5 fills. I'm not sure if I've found that sweet spot just yet though. We just need to follow the rules and eventually we'll get there. Good luck! :)

Just a tip I have been using. When I make my dinner at night, I make sure I have my proper portions and less than one cup of food. I then pack up any leftovers and put them in the fridge. Stops me from reaching for seconds.

Give it away or throw it away for sure! I have found, I just can't have the stuff in the house. I live alone, so what others want isn't an issue. I too endulged over the holidays but as of 1/1 I am back on track. Did cardio yesterday for the first time in a while. A new year, a new me. Good luck!

I was banded on 11/8 and also gained 3 lbs over the holiday. Threw out all the leftovers (cookies-mydownfall) yesterday and back on track. I need to start exercising but have been sick. Hope to start on Saturday.

      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!
