Is anyone else a nerdy-goodie two shoes and SO careful since being banded?



Recommended Posts

I am a total stickler for rules. Since surgery I have never had anything to drink within 30 minutes of eating. I haven't had a bite of bread, rice, Pasta, chocolate, anything...

My thought is this... I know at some point - hopefully when I get close to goal - that I will slowly add some of these things back in but for now, I need to lose and that means giving up on things that have not be friendly to my attempts to lose weight in the past. I am not a believer that I will ALWAYS have to stay away from bread, rice, Pasta and sweets - I just know that in my losing weight phase - they are not for me.

I did just start adding honey to my coffee rather than splenda because I am trying to eat clean and green - plus I get allergies from time to time and local honey is supposed to help with those.

When I first became a member on this board I was shocked at how many people seemed to "cheat" or disregard their surgeon's orders. Man, I was TERRIFIED to even think about it. Some were eating solid foods 3 days post op and I was scared to eat mushies even when my doctor had given me clearance to eat them! Everyone is different, I suppose but I know for me - I'm a rule abider for sure!

      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!
