Wow Is This Normal ...



Recommended Posts

Hello every one .. I was banded on December 1,2011.. Down almost 15lbs in less then 3 weeks. I feel great, no more port pain, no more gas pain (left shoulder area) ,Burping is my only issue.

But Ive noticed I have to REMIND myself to eat. Its been 3wks since my last REAL meal. Clear Liquids my first 2wks and now start last friday on soft food 1/4 of each meal my nutritionist has plained out for me and an 8oz Protein Shake in between each meal.

Is it normal to NOT be hungry and I didn't even have a FILL yet?

Im loving it , but thought you only feel like that AFTER our fills. lol

Im losing the weight , but eventually it will stop if I dont eat.

I have to eat my oh so small meals to keep losing , I literally had to set a timer to eat . lol

Good luck and congrats !!!!

I wasn't really that hungry my first 5 months post op, I was hungry at meals, but not much around them. That went away after 5 months and I started getting hungry again. My doc gave me a small fill 0.75 ml, and it worked for about 2 weeks. Then I was hungry again, but I decided to just work with it. I quelled my hunger with drinking my crysta light. That fill took away my ability to eat Breakfast without feeling like crap. Now I have a new lifestyle change. So you may get through a while without being hungry.

      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!
