Small Cheat Big Issues



Recommended Posts

I had a small empanada during my mushy stage- I did chew well and took my time, i was fine till later that night i felt my stomach distended and like a ball drop in side 2 times. I am very gurgly today and not real pain but discomfort and feel full although sticking to Clear Liquids today- or until this passes! I also know that I am constipated so buyi that milk of magnesia on way home. Anyone else misbehave like me? Please do not yell at me, I know I should have waited to eat that hard afood for another 2 weeks. Just want to know if all is lost...

I will play the food police for Dr Aguila's patients. Grider,I was looking forward to meeting you& recovering you after your lapband surgery ,however I started my Xmas vacation. I would have given advice from my experience as a lapband patient first, then as a nurse caring for his patients for the past 7 years! If you follow the rules you will be successful. If you don't, you set yourself up for failure! Get back on your post-op food guide & follow it for the 6 weeks!

Grider, food police again- no more juice after 1st week. You shouldn't be drinking milkshakes either!

HI, sorry I did not get to meet you - I did ask - The juice was cramberry mixed with gatorade, in the first week, I was explaining how I have kept all the rules until this one thing I stuck in my mouth. The milkshakes he said until 3rd week. I dont have any of those left, but Protein Powder. BUT you are very right, have to watch the P's & Q's. I did not tell people on my job I had wls surgery and I think I just wanted to participate in the whoo whoo, which we dont have often. My mistake. The body feels better since the milk of magnesia, little tug on my left side, maybe gas? and the back feels better like night and day, must have been Constipation? ?? I do wonder if my muscles are so soft in my tummy now, that things too loose in there, still have issues laying on side an stuff.

      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.

        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!
