What Gives?



Recommended Posts

I feel like i am at a good restriction level. However this weekend we celebrated my anniversary ( which is 18yrs today). ;-) anyhow we went out for dinner an i got stuck on almost eveeything 3 days straight toast which had been fine until now, chicken, i seem to be getting stuck on everything except smoothies veggies and OFCOURCE cake :( i do not want to start eating sliders but it hurts so badly to get stuck.

Has anyone dealt with this? Plz any ideas appreciated. Constructive critism glad accepted too. I just REALLY want to be successful. Btw i have 5.3 in a 10cc band.

Thanks all

have you been sick or stressed recently. i had an episode where i was traveling by car for over 6 hours and was super tight. didnt get it. i found my band goes thru fickle phases with no rhyme or reason. sometimes, stress, TOM, or the weather can effect it. could any of those be the culprit?

If you're getting stuck on everything for 3 days straight, it's time to put yourself on liquids so everything in there can calm down!

I have fibro also (in fact, I tried to join your Fibro and Life group, but couldn't for some reason), and a few months ago I published an article in Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain LIFE magazine about the corelation between obesity and fibro. One doctor told me that weight loss can exacerbate fibro symptoms because of the inflammatory role of adipose (fat) tissue in the immune system. So it makes sense (to me anyway) that a flare up of fibro or another immune system disorder like lupus could cause inflammation in the digestive system.

      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!
