Hi All,

I assume food getting stuck means there is restriction. I can eat one type of fish yet, another one gets stuck and wont go down. Some times chicken works, other times it wont. I feel like I am hungry a lot. I never feel full. Satisfied, maybe every now and then. My stomach seems to growl a lot. Does that mean I still have a way to go to my sweet spot? Could there be something wrong?

Thanks!

JJ

Hey Happy2bee,

I was banded at the end of December. I chew chew and when I think I am done chewing I chew some more. :biggrin:

Good Information for me too, Jack. I liked your analogy, but isn't the band non-organic, made out of plastic or latex? Just curious. SS

only the Band is organic and reacts to more complex biometrics than simple particle size.

but isn't the band non-organic, made out of plastic or latex?

I think what Jack means here is that for many, restriction level varies depending on the time of day, the time of month, stress level, and other biological factors.

For example, if I drink something cold -- imagine having a long suck out of a dacquiri or other frozen drink -- forget any food going down. If I drink something hot, like coffee or tea, my band relaxes.

      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!
