First Fill After Baby



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Brief background: Banded 4/16/2009, 8/1/09 found out we were EXPECTING! (She was a surprise, not planned so close after surgery). 4/24/2010 baby is born. 6/10/2011 first fill after baby. Now, I am trying to get back into the swing of things. Due to the situation I only had 2 fills prior to finding out about the baby, so at this time, I believe I have a total of 4cc's in my band, with relatively good restriction. I find myself hungry every 2-3 hours though, and am wondering if this is too frequant? Since it has been so long, I forgot everything and need to brush up. I am wondering if anyone out there has some good documents that may help with guidelines and meal ideas, and the correct amount to eat at each meal, etc. I am going to do this the right way! Any help is a lot of help!

Thanks so much!

Also, if I can answer any of your questions you may have, I am open!

Thanks a lot and take care!

Steph

Hi! I just had baby number two June 30th and am wondering if you breastfed with band? I am anxious to get back to my skinny jeans (50lbs to go) and am wondering how difficult it is going to be. I am new to this site so if you can't help me can you point me in the right direction? thanks!

      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.

      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!
