Ugh I just got a fill. I was able to eat tuna patties before so I thought ok I will make some. Nope that will be a forever NO food. That was awful.

You should be on liquids for 2 days, then go to mushies for 1 day. You might be able to eat them again, but you won't know that for several days.

My post fill diet is also long:

3 days liquids & shakes

3 days mushies & shakes

....soft...then progress to reg diet

It's like doing a 5 day pouch or post-op surgery diet after every fill.

Couple thoughts...one, definitely remember that worked with the last fill needs to be 'retested' after the next fill. The slightest additional restriction can make a yes food a no food real quick lol. But also remember, give yourself a few weeks after the fill to truly test the band. By than the inflammation has subsided and the band has been well used giving you an idea of how lose/tight that band will be at that particular fill. Lastly, band restriction fluctuates from day to night, day to day.. If you notice your band is slightly more open than normal, take advantage and eat a tuna patty :)

Although I have foods I hesitate to eat because they consistently cause issues, I still keep them on the list for 'open days' :)

This may be a dumb question.

Since surgery I have this burp tht just happens. It comes mostly after I know I'm done eating. Sown times when changing positions too. My surgeon said this may never go away but it's not harmful. Question is, is this considered productive burping or not? If not, what's the difference? Is pb dangerous?

I have the grossest loud burps. I also hiccup when I eat too much. I was told that is part of the band.

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
