How to Eat Like a Bandster



Recommended Posts

Thank you so much for this post. I've been struggling since January and have had many stuck episodes lately. I'm finally going back to see my surgeon tomorrow after 5 months. I had my surgery in Oct 2011. I'm going to dig out all of the materials I was given when I was banded and reread them.

Thanks again!

Cyndy

Cyndy, it never hurts to put yourself through a band refresher course!

Jean, I agree about the refresher course. I sure wish I would have read your book "Bandwagon" before my surgery. I think I would have handled many of the problems and concerns that I had shortly after surgery when I entered bandster hell and stayed there for nearly 4 months.

Reading the book now, I'm not sure I would have really understood many of the challenges I was about to face. But it's so good to be able to read now and understand. Many "aha" moments!

I know what you mean. When you're just starting out, you're dealing with an overwhelming amount of new information and new experiences. It's hard to keep it all straight at first.

      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!
