4 Weeks Post Lap Band Surgery... Am I Eating Too Much?



Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I am 4 weeks out and I feel like I am not doing so well. I lost 26 lbs in my first two weeks but have gained a pound or two since.

I was extremely dehydrated at one point and just started drinking the correct amount of liquids.

I eat small portions of eggs, grits, cheese, or sandwich meat for Breakfast. Sometimes a mixture.

For lunch I will get a small sized plate and usually eat whatever I can get. A lot of Protein and very little of anything else.

Usually around dinner time I try to do the same as lunch, but sometimes I feel like it's just too much.

I have about 2 Snacks during the day (mostly cheese or sandwich meat).

I do not have a digital scale so I am not exactly sure HOW MUCH I am actually eating. I have just been eyeballing it on small plates. I definitely need a scale.< /p>

My biggest problem is that rarely after I eat I have a dull pain under my breast bone and I know it's from over eating. I have not had to throw up yet.... I am just super worried and need some support! I hope I am not messing this up!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
