We'll see if I can get the hang of this. This site seems intimidating and confusing.

I was also banded 3 days ago in Houston by Dr. Spivak. I weighed 180 and now I'm at 173. My tummy is so tight and miserable - How about yours?

Tight and miserable, yes! But I am so excited to see that I've already lost 6 lbs. and whereas before I might be worried that I'd just gain the 6 lbs. right back, I know that this time those 6 lbs. are gone for good. I can't wait to keep losing! I found that yesterday I was really missing food. I'm not hungry whatsoever. I just miss chewing and the taste of food. These next two weeks will be interesting, to say the least.

I was banded on March 7th by Dr. Spiegel in Houston. Congratulations! I am missing food so much less today than I was a week ago, being able to add creamy Soups really helped. I am just amazed that I can actually drink a Slim Fast or a Campbells Soup at Hand and really be satisfied. I am so excited about this journey! It is so amazing to lose weight and really believe that I will be able to keep it off! I've never had that confidence in myself before and I love it! Good luck!

I am SO looking forward to Fri. when I can start adding creamy Soups. I am so sick of Clear Liquids. I want to actually taste something. Surprisingly, I have found some satisfaction in cooking for my family. Just standing over the stove and smelling everything cook... :shades_smile:

      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'. ???

        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!
