Dr. Visit Today



Recommended Posts

Had a check up today, I am not feeling my best, due to my aunt Flo arriving 5 days early. I have lost 6lbs in 3wks, the Dr. said that I was retaining Water, and probably have actually lost a little bit more, he showed me how the scales knew that, cause I was amazed he could tell I was retaining, I can feel it but I had no idea the scales measure it. He filled the band 0.75cc today because for the last 3 days I have been feeling tighter and he said that was likely due to the Water retention which around that time of the month presses on the band, again I learned something new so I have 3.75cc in my band right now I just ate 2 eggs, I don't feel stuffed like he says I will if it is filled tight enough, but I do feel satisfied with what I've eaten. After my appointment I stopped in at Speedway, I don't like to reward myself with food for the most part, but I decided coffee doesn't count lol, so I got myself an 8oz coffee and put sugar free caramel in it, and 2 half and half Creamers, and some splenda, it really did the trick because the Subway stop I had planned for a tuna salad just didn't interest me after I had the coffee. I then ran up to get my taxes done, by the time I got home I was ready to eat. For me as long as the scales are going in the right direction, I will be patient with the band.

      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.

        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!
