I everyone. Well I am now an official member of the lap band group. Surgery went well on Tuesday. I came home the same day. Yesterday I slept most of the day and when I wasn't sleeping I was walking. See I listened to all of you. The extra gas I had settled into mid back but is

Much better today. I am having a hard time getting all the Protein in but keep working at it. Thanks for all the best wishes you sent my way.

P.S. Today I am kind of hungry. Is that normal???

Thank you Colleen and pink dahlia. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I tried to only read the positive posts from everyone here. I know there are "horror" stories out there but I tried to stay away from them. I am taking Tylenol now and just trying to get in as much fluids and Protein as I can. I appreciate your comments:)

Thanks everyone. I spoke with the nutritionist today and she said I am so hungry because I am not getting enough Protein in. The inside of our refrigerator looks like a Protein Shake factory. HA! I am sure you all understand that. It honestly hasn't been that bad. A little gas pain under my ribs on the right side and in mid back. My husband has been great with the karate chops along my back which has actually helped. I am on liquids through Sunday and then I move on to the soft food. Refrained Beans anyone??:). Thanks again to all of you.

I wish I had known about the karate chops -- that is awesome! Congratulations on your surgery and way to go on the walking. You are going to do beautifully. I had no Protein goals post-surgery and even today I'm not that worried about it. Protein first is obvious --I listen to my body and it tells me what I need. What does it need? Protein! Lol.....I don't try to get stuff in, though. I just eat when I'm hungry and don't eat when I'm not hungry,

Congrats to you! Protein Shakes help me when I feel hungry. Even just taking a few drinks from one seems to help. Glad everything is going well, and welcome to the Losers Club!!! :D

I am so new to being on a forum like this. In fact this is the first one I have ever been on and I am 56 years old!!:). I think I have more than likely started too many new subjects. I forgot I had started this thread after surgery (maybe the anesthesia??--haha). Then just started another one today. I am learning and so thank you for your patience:). Hope everyone is having a happy day!!!!

      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!
