Well I had my surgery on Thursday, still sore but it's improving a little each day. Only thing now is that I am on Clear Liquids and it is not filling me up at all! So miserable right now.

Im sorry to hear that. Well at least it is only a week right? I have heard that that frist week is different for a lot of prople. Some I have talked with have no desire to eat or drink, others have a hard time getting things down and then some say they are starving as you. I have not been banded yet but you have no restriction at all?

Congratulations being on the banded side!

That phase is one of the hardest things about LBS. Thats when you have to keep reminding yourself, how bad you want this to work.

Right now is "mind over matter".

You can do it

Yeah for being banded. As your doc about your Protein shakes! This will help you get through the liquid stage for sure. They did for me. And your right~ Everyday gets a little bit better then the last.

Cheers to the Bandland. And happy recovery.

      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!
