In Need Of Some Support



Recommended Posts

Ladies i am in need of some support in order to move forward. I've had my first fil and will need another one for certain because I'm not staying full. I havent lost anything in weeks and I am really frustrated because I am doing everything that I am supposed to and am in my mind right now not making progress.

I really could use someone who will be a support system, especially since we don't have support groups in my area.

Feel free to write anytime, I am trying to get some good support systems going. Be patient with your self, you are not in your green zone yet so your not restricted. You should try eating slow, setting down each bite after taking. avoid high carb sugar, and empty calorie liquides. you must burn more calories then you intake. So if you do make mistakes make up with exercise.

I would love a good support system too. Please try not to get discouraged - remember this isn't bypass, it isn't a quick fix but it can be a lifelong one. And many people have mentioned it takes several fills to get restriction... I know that's so frustrating but keep up the good work and the results WILL come.

Hey ladies we are all here to support each other! This is no easy road we have chosen to travel! Eating is an addiction!!! Every night when I lay down I check in here....kinda like my AA. All addicts need a support system!

Hi my name is Amy and I'm a over eater

So today was a better day, I didn't feel quite so alone today and that really helps. I haven't told but a handful of people about my band and sometimes it's a bit of a burden to keep to yourself. I have a very small (like 5 people) support group if friends and my husband who actually know, the decision not to tell just worked for my situation. I'm glad though that I can still find support with those who are actually going through the process as well.

      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.

        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!
