January 25 bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I have been drinking Water but not a gallon yet. Sure feels like I could. I am still getting used to the not gulping thing. I've caught myself a few times. I'm so ready for soft foods but I'm on full liquids for 2 more weeks. Ill abide by the proper diet but Soups are getting boring. I go for my post op check up tomorrow. We will see how it goes! :)

I have been doing pretty good! Down 41 since the pre-op diet, and down 27 since surgery. I hit a stall for a few weeks because I had no restriction, gained 6lbs and it slowly came off by the time I had to go in for a fill only losing 3lbs in that month. I got my first fill and it has been a challenge with my biting. I made a mistake and took a drink after I ate some things, and that just backed all the food up to one hot mess of a stuck. Hurt and the last time I will do that. The biggest thing that I have been trying to do is drink water! I have to agree with TXMama, I feel like a totally different person as well, I have never been so motivated in my life! :) I think that beats the numbers!

      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!
