Banded July 23



Recommended Posts

I was banded yesterday and I have to say I'm doing great. More of a tummy ache than pain. Keeping moving helps gas. I didn't sleep well lying down coughed alot but if I propped up I was good. Drinking Unjury unflavored in Water today and unjury chicken broth. Overall not as bad as I expected.

I was banded on the 23rd also! A friend made me homemade chicken Soup and the broth was delicious! Best thing I've had so far!!!

How are all my July banded pals doing? I'm doing okay. Starting to get hungry but still having stuck issues at least I think that's what the feeling is. I feel like I can't breathe and my esophagus gurgles then after short time I burp or make more noises and we're good. It's strange and I'm not sure why it happens because more often then not its soft foods. I can't really eat meats well and I only have 2cc in band. The nurses said it wouldn't make a difference but something is !

      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'. ???

        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!
