Either too loose or too tight:(



Recommended Posts

Since my last fill I have days where I'm either so tight that I can't keep food down at all or I'm so loose that I can eat anything and everything and I'm starving all day.

Today I've been able to eat things that I haven't been able to eat in months with no problem whatsoever. Why can't I find a middle/perfect ground with my band?

What are you guys doing on loose days? It seems on those days I'm absolutely starving and I have a hard time staying below my daily calorie goal.

I have that problem also, I will have days when I think that I need a fill because I can eat anything and so I make up my mind to get a fill. The day before I have problems with getting stuck. I think my band is fickle...but I love it anyways! When I can eat whatever, I try (and it is hard) to eat good choices but I love to be bad sometimes too. If I eat something sweet, I make sure that I have a cheese stick or something with it. It makes me feel like it cancels each other out somehow. This has been a funny journey to try and get my mind in tune with my stomach. Keep up the good work!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
