7 days post opp and I think I ate too much



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist said I could add thinned grits today. First of all, I don't think they were thin enough. I only ate a cup like directed, but I think it was too much. I don't have pain per se, but it's uncomfortble. I feel like I need to burp, but I can't. Am I going to mess something up!? I am freaking out!!!

You are probably not ready for grits yet....sometimes they suggest things and once You try them, they don't go down too well. i'm over 3 months out with my surgery and I just started eating grits 2 weeks ago,and i was still nervous. you will be fine

I feel like this is probably what restriction feels like when you eat too much, but I know my body needs some more healing too though.

I think what you're feeling means you're full. When you get that feeling, stop eating. Nothing to worry about. Just take it easy.

You're not completely healed for about 6 weeks.

I am seriously amazed right now. I've never eaten that little of food and been this FULL. It feels like I ate a TON.

LOL, ^^^ welcome to Lapband life!! It's an amazing feeling when you only eat a 1/4 of what you ate before and feel full. It also depends on what you eat, remember to eat more Protein cause the smoother the food is the easier it is to go down and the more you're able to eat.

I am so jealous. We were banded the same day, but I don't see my doc until Tuesday. I was told that I can't advance my diet until after I see him. I am sooooo tired of Protein shakes; I have been living on nothing but them for three weeks.

I don't see my doctor again. I was banded 9 hours away. I am getting my fills at a fill clinic here. The doc said I could call anytime and I am still in their program, just online, Skype and phone.

      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!
