I was able to fill up on sugarfree popsicles, Jello, and the Atkins Protein shakes.

I ate mints and peppermints or anything that dissolved in my mouth in between for the bad taste in my mouth from being nauseated all those days

I feel your pain and I love the expression bandzilla's! My husband and I were banded at the same time and it can be rough. The good thing is that you're in the same boat, and can relate to where the other is coming from. I was STARVING right after surgery and my hubby's internal swelling lasted a good long time for him so he was not hungry.

Every commercial I saw had food food food and I was soooo hungry I had to stop watching TV and just read until I was able to move to mushy foods.

You will get through it and laugh about it later! Best of luck to you both and keep up the good work!

Walk, walk & walk. This is not an illness. Bands are saving our lives. . . try to forget food & get up & slowly move, move & move. You can do it!

Vodka is a clear liquid and has been used to ease tension for centuries ;)

      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!
