Congrats on being banded! I haven't had that issue yet, but I'm sure I will the first few times too. I'm only 7 days post op. I'm sure we all will go through that over eating phase and realize what we can and can't eat and how fast of slow we need to eat, it's prob bc of the full too. Good luck to you and congrats again on taking the first step towards a new life. :)

That's awesome. Is that lost weight since your surgery or with pre op? I was banded on 2-14 and have only lost 15 since surgery, and 20 pre op. just curious since I feel like 15 since surgery is not enough. Haven't had a fill yet.

It will pass! Lesson learned, measure your food. I am a year post op and still measure my food. The eye is not very good in the measuring department. lol

Your body will let you know when it is hungry again, just listen to it. If doing liquids makes you feel better then go for it, but I don't think you hurt anything and need to do liquids.

It is a learning experience. remember the first feeling you got before you felt over fill, that was your soft stop. Next time, stop when you feel that.

Good luck to you.

PS I am still learning, it never ends. ;)

When I go food shopping and buy meats, fish, chicken, I have the butcher etc. weigh my food and then I have the right amounts. I don't measure my salads and I usually have one every day. But then I don't use dressing on it either.

​You will do fine. If a tuna can says 6 oz, divide it in 1/2. I always divide, like when I make meat balls (I am tomorrow) I know I have one pound of meat and that is 4 meals worth. My husband doesn't eat meat, he has turkey balls.

You will get the hang of 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.

        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!
