So I was banded on 2weeks ago and I must say I noticed I couldn't eat a 1/2 of cup of yogurt without getting full. Now I don't have that "full feeling" at all and I get my first fill February 20th. Is this normal?

Yes, those first few weeks you're healing from surgery and super swollen inside, so you feel full really fast. Keep following the plan and you'll make it!

I go for my first fill on 2/1 and I can't wait. I miss the restriction from those first few weeks. Best of luck to you!

Its also important to you know that you are not looking for a "full" feeling. You have to learn where it is that you feel satisfied. If get full you have eaten too much. This journey will teach you so much about yourself. Best of Luck!

Good news is that you are perfectly normal for your post-op stage. That doesn't make it any easier, but it does mean that your journey is progressing.

Hang in there, follow the rules and enjoy the benefits down the track.

it is harder in the beginning hang in there and stick with the doctor told you. This is prep work for the real work as you work your program...its hard at this stage and so remember but so worth it.

      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.

      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!
