I eat lunch at the Senior Center each week day. When I get there I smell fresh coffee. I have to sip a half cup! I don't drink during my meal, but it is tempting to have another half cup with friends when visiting afterwards. Life puts so many things in front of us each day! Exactly what is it that the mealtime liquid does? When home or eating out I have no problem. I'm just think in' . . . . :o

Sorry to hear about the replacement. Thank you, though about reminding all of us the importance of chew chew chew. They are the magic words that we all forget sometimes. Feel better.

Is there a specific even that you can point to as the cause of the slip? Thank God you've got your new band! Take care!

I have felt the warning signs when drinking while eating, or close thereafter when food is still in the pouch...extreme pain...it is the pouch suddenly becoming over-inflated from the food being there, then suddenly adding Water...perhaps doubling the volume all at once....So I will NEVER do it....learned the hard way.

I'm curious, for my own research, how long were you banded before you had the slip????

I read that the food doesn't actually sit in our pouch, but goes through in about a minute...and that's why we have to wait a minute in between the bites ???³. I don't drink with my meals just because I noticed that I can eat more if I drink. Can you explain what actually caused your slip please?

      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!
