Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I know it may not seem like alot but for me it is....I have the dernest time with alllooottt of foods, to where I find myself drinking starbux and eating fried chicken nuggts. At this point nothing else can get down. Any suggestions wld be great from those tht are about my same cc amout or higher. Protein Shakes are gud but get old.....Hugs....

if you have too much restriction and nothing is going down, sounds like you may need a slight unfill. One can not live on Starbucks and fried chicken nuggets alone!

I agree that you may need a slight unfill as if you can't eat healthy foods you are too tight, but I do not believe that starbucks and chicken nuggets are the only things that will go down. If you can eat those then surely you could also have something like a Protein shake or yogurt which are far healthier.

Go and get some fill taken out and start making proper, healthy choices.

i have six cc in my band as well, for almost a month I was noticeably restricted due to period bloat, then after my ccyle resolved I'm now able to eat 3 meals a day without a problem. did you get a fill durring "that time" of the month? It can have an effect. My doctors office said that durring that time of the month some gals come in for slight unfils while other's focous more on liquids until things simmer down. Hope this helps.

Remember...Soup is a liquid it will just go through your band. Not supposed to have liquids with meals as it will flush food out of your lapband pouch. Most Soups are full of high calories too.

      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!
