Hey everyone!!!! I was banded on 5/20/15 and so far I have lost 34 pounds. So far so good. It's still a little hard for me to get in all my Protein but it's getting better each day. Most days I am not hungry but will eat something as it's not good to go all day and not hungry. I haven't had my first fill yet as I had a problem with slimming but it's getting better now. Hopefully I will in October. I am exercising at least 3 times a week but trying to increase so I can make my weight goal. Good luck to all!!!

Anyone have trouble with getting plain ol' Water down? Before surgery I could drink gallons, I swear! Now, I can't get down plain water. I have to flavor it...it's getting slightly better, but it feels like water is just too "heavy" for my sleeve.

I was drinking 2 liters of Water a day before surgery. Now I can't drink 8oz. I've been mostly sticking to iced tea.

I have to force Water down. And drink the flavored. So strange. After 6 weeks I tried plain water but I think I'm just used to the flavored now. Without forcing I am drinking 34 oz and the drs keep saying to more than double that. Have for the last 2 days.

I posted this elsewhere but posting it here. I counted my liquid and chewable vitamins yesterday and the calories came to 120. I was not counting those. Not used to my pill form Vitamins having calories. Maybe they did lol. Just adding this so we all watch for those hidden calories we are not writing down.

      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.

        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!
