No Fill today



Recommended Posts

Went to my surgeon today, he was going to give me a .5 cc fill , I am 3 1/2 weeks post op, but he said let;s wait .. I am doing good, not super hungry.. I have lost 15 lbs since surgery and he says I can start exercise . I have been tracking my calories on myfitness.com so, I am eating my cup of food with a couple of Protein Snacks a day and I am only eating about

700 calories a day..my nutritionist says I am okay as long as I am losing... I am kinda happy cause I wasn't looking forward to doing liquids for 2 days again but if I get super hungry he said to call him.. I have another appt in 3 weeks.

It's great that your listening to your body and band! Some people get to wrapped up in getting fills to fast, they think it's going to speed up the weight loss process! In reality a lot of times it causes more problems than benefits! I can tell you have the concept of the band and I feel your going to be very successful on your journey! Your doing great!

Congratulations. It sounds like things are going well for you. I didn't get my first fill until 4 months after my surgery. My doctor wants me to lose about 2 lbs per week. He says it is the healthy 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!
