I Weigh More Now Than When I Got Approved For Surgery!



Recommended Posts

I am getting really really down. I cant believe summer is here, and I havent lost a single pound. I go in for my fourth fill in a few weeks, and I have lost nothing. I feel like I am making better choices, and eating alittle less, but I feel NO restriction. The only difference I see is that my food hurts me on the way down if I dont chew it well enough, and I cant drink while I eat (WHICH I HATE!!!!) OH! And I cant vomit!!!! Which is terrible!!!! I have had a sick tummy once or twice since the surgery ( January 24) and I am unable to vomit!!!! To say that I am sad is an understatment. I feel like going into hiding.

If you're not keeping track of your calories and Protein intake, I would suggest doing so for awhile to see how much you're eating and where you should make some changes. When you're logging what you eat you're much more apt to hold yourself accountable, too.

If food is uncountable going down it sounds line you have restriction to me.

I accidently hit post.. .anyway, just keep doing what your doing but learn to listen to your body and the signals you g et from your band. If it hurts going down, try smaller bites and chew chew chew. I have never experienced full like I did before being banded, its totally different and hard to explain. As soon ad I get the hiccups or I feel pressure in my pouch, I stop eating and am satisfied. It took me a while to get that and to lose. Hang in there, y can do this! :)

      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.
