Not really new to LBT

Hello all, I was a member here quite some time ago and I sort of fell off the wagon. I have felt terrible for the better part of a year, just been lay and not eaten right at all. i had gained all but about 30 pounds of the weight I had lost back. About a week ago my stomach started to hurt from overeating and I thought what the hell am i doing? I am now back on liquids. I think it has been 31/2 days on liquids only.

I am gassy and feel exactly like I did following surgery. I don't suggest making yourself miserable prior to getting back on the wagon. But I am back on it and down to 203 from 207-217 (kinda up and down as is normal).

Anyway I am glad to be back and hoping my profile has my old ticker saved? Then I can see where I was and where I am?

Zana, I don't know if you'd be interested, but there is a new method to help people

get back on track. It's called the "five day band test". Look it up (on this forum),

and if you want to give it a try, it might help. Best of luck.

I am just going back to what my doctor advised when we started this 5years ago. I am losing so it is fine. Just hoping the band is ok and will stay that way. Kind of feel like this is my second chance and I have to take it and do the hard way.

Thanks Mimi and julia. I appreciate the support! It has not been near as hard of a week as I had thought! I am officially down 14pounds. No bouncing on the scale above 203 so that is good. I can not complain at all.

I need to just stick around and be a part of this community. I really did well with it for a very long time. I only ever had 2 fills and lost down to a size 7 and stayed there a year. So I know the thing works.

I feel much better the gas and swelling are all but gone. I have always had restriction. Even with only 1 or 2 small fills. I will stay on clears one more week, so til monday November 1st. Then I will go to smoothies/protein shakes for probably a month as well? Depending on how I do?

It does not even come close to sucking when weighed against my life, health or my band.

Thanks again!

P.S.

How do add a ticker? I could not figure it out before and I still can not?:huh:

I created a ticker but I can't figure out where in User Profile to add it or how to create a sig?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
