The cravings are killin me!!



Recommended Posts

Hi to everyone out there in ND. I am just recently returned from a three week trip to Arizona. I have had a infection in my incision area and have not been able to get my first fill. I was banded on Jan 19. I was hoping to have some more of this fat off by now but seems to be sticking on pretty tight.

food is still my major issue. Seems like I want to eat all the time. I hate this. I fight with the urge to eat every waking hour. I have had some moderate success with wieght loss but seem to be not able to resist the grazing eating pattern I have dealt with for many years.

Help!!!! I need some major intervention by you folks. Hope some of you are standing by.

I have an appointment with Dr. Schmidt for April 5 for a fill if my infection is clear. I am so hoping that will help me. How do you alll deal with the urge to eat all the time?? :help:

hi there, sorry to hear about your cravings and the infection. Are you getting a fill in Minot? I have an appointment for 1:00 there. Hopefully he will be able to give you a fill. That will definately help you. It takes a while to get a good fill so talk to Dr. S about it if you are still having problems after a week or so after your first fill. hope all goes 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.

      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!
