Need to get back on the Band wagon



Recommended Posts

I was banded back in 2009 and have done well with it. had lost a total of 70 lbs at one point. I had a problem with my band about 2 years ago and had to have all the Fluid removed. which then I gain about 50 lbs back. I was eating everything and anything - not good. I have been in the process of getting back to my sweet spot but keep having problems. I get a fill - eat my liquids and then my softs and then on to solids and everything is fine ... then about 2 weeks in I get to were I can't keep any thing down but a little bit of liquids so I have to get a un-fill. I am so tired of having this sudden problem of not being able to keep food down.

I need to get back serious about my eating - can any body give me some great ideas for lunches and Snacks that will be good to take to work and snack on. I have to get serious about my eating and losing.

What does your Dr say could be the problem?

Hard to advise you if you can't keep solids down? That's an issue you need to address if you want to succeed?

I suggest that you get a barium swallow to make sure your band hasn't slipped.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
