Hate my band today!



Recommended Posts

I just need to vent.

I'm Havin a day where nothing goes down, everything I attempt gets stuck, even my 'go to' foods. I'm sick of shakes and liquids and I would just about KILL for a nice chicken and salad sandwich! I started as a low BMI bandster last November. I'm not far off my goals but I have days where I get so frustrated that I can't eat seemingly 'normal' foods without some

Form of discomfort. I know today is just an off day and tomoro will be better. I just need to get it out to those who understand and who have times where they just wanna resort to bad things that don't cause any grief! Tell me you all feel my

Pain!

I know the feeling. I had a fill last December that finally gave me restriction. Did not get my first actual food stick until about a year in. I think maybe my fill is actually a little too much for me because now all the healthy stuff is getting stuck too. It is making me drink my calories rather than eat food. I am also off my Protein routine. I hate the drinks now and keep lying that I can manage the Protein with food alone. But I know I don't. When days get bad I always drink hot liquids before eating. Loosens the stoma.

Yup, the killer for me is when a food goes down just fine one time and later on that same day gets stuck.

Do you all find stress effects your ability to eat on certain days?

Yes!

For me salt has a huge part. If I eat anything that is salty, my stoma will be swollen by the next day and its liquids only for me for at least 24 hours. I try to steer clear of salt at all times now.

And that means all pre packages processed foods that are high in sodium!

I have the same problem.

      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!
