Does anyone find it easier to eat standing up



Recommended Posts

You are right it does go down better standing up. If I get stuck or almost stuck standing and walking makes it go down quicker.

My doctor told me if I had to stand up it was too tight. :rolleyes: I like it that way but of course there is more risk for erosion, etc.

Good ole standing is a great way to eat! However, I try to improve my posture and sit up straight, when I sit. Gravity sure does help!

Yep, standing helps. It's like when you sit it pinches the band closed or something. I eat sitting most of the time but if it gets stuck I just stand or walk and if fixes itself.

Thanks all I am thinking it is a tad tight I have a 11cc band with 6 cc fill.....the walking helps when It feels stuck..or holding my head back so my neck is straight.....the thing is I have figued out what hurts is the ball of slime you get...not the food ...food never comes up ... just the slime.....If it continues to be I can stand to get it down without problems I may take a cc out at 4cc I could eat without problems...not like a sandwich or pizza but just a good dinner salmon veggies etc

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
