Bands seem to have a mind of their own. You will need to take much smaller bites and chew, chew, chew. It's also possbible that you may be too tight and need a small unfill but not likely.

You should be feeling the stuck feeling with some foods that went down easy pre fill. You may have to learn how and what to eat now that you are in or near the green zone.

But, yes, bands can be moody. I can eat chicken for 2-3 days in a row and then my band stops me dead in my tracks and just says, nope, not today pal. Welcome to restriction.

Never could eat eggs :) try a soft scrambled egg, u might find that easier to eat if u need to eat eggs !

      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!
