Banded 54 days ago and??



Recommended Posts

I'm doing ok loosing weight but my stomach is super bloated. I don't know if it's still from the surgery or what but it's really bothering me. I was thinking perhaps because other parts of my body is getting smaller its magnifying my stomach but I actually feel bloated any suggestions are appreciated.

My understanding from the literature that I received from my clinic is that the bloating can last for several months so it could just be bloating left over from the surgery.

Hope that helps.

Hi! Congrat on your new journey. I have been banded almost a year now. The bloating can last a few months. They put alot of gas in you for the surgery. Also you stomach is healing so it will be swollen for a bit. When you go in for your next fill I would ask the doctor what he thinks. Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks so much. I just can't wait for it to go down. Nothing worst than being able to go 1or 2 sizes down n still looking 10 mos pregnant.

Did you perhaps start drinking whey Protein Shakes? You could be lactose-intolerant which might cause bloating. Maybe switch to soy and reduce any dairy you've been having.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
