I Think I Have Hit Bandster Hell...



Recommended Posts

Good Morning,

I had my surgery 2/13/12, and have been loosing steady ever since. Was never hungry, stuck the plan, never cheated, I felt great. Since Easter, I noticed that the scale stopped moving and that I am able and want to eat everything in sight. I even found myself reverting back to my old behaviors. It was like I woke up one morning and just let go of all the good habits I gained. I haven't gained any weight, but I am just hanging in limbo. I wasn't given a fill at my last appointment becasue I was loosing so much on my own, but now I am thinking it's time. Is this how it is when you need a fill? I never feel full anymore, I can eat anything and my "full" feeling is gone. I just wanted to get some input from people who have been there. Thank you!

P.S. I also haven't been excercinsing like I know I should, I just need a kick in the butt! :)

Hi there, i got my band over 2 yrs ago &i im still having those times when i go in and out of the green zone. Im working thru one now. My dr also tells me its those times when i start treating this like a diet not a lifestyle chg. Hes right tho, i was even becoming a slave to the scale again. He did give me a small fill which helps when this happens to get me bk on trk. Hope this helps. I know what thats you're going thru! I've been in tears @u times. Feel free to msg me for support anytime. If you can help with my ticker question that would help me stop pulling hair out lol. I pray it gets better for u soon.

      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.

        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.
