Hi banded 23 days ago weight loss only 11lbs, I not sure what I am doing wrong? I Do have my shakes with milk !! Breakfast then Soup for lunch, can eat whole tin? The yogurt also I do like gerkin ham and laughing Cow yummy, finding it hard to drink loads of Water, at first I could hardly eat anything much, now I don't seem to feel a restriction! My first fill nov 7th,

I am getting Hic ups,not alot, is this due to rushing or too much food? I have pain in shoulder on OCC, but pain on my left side more on than off, any ideas would be appreciated. Also any help to try to get more Fluid down me would help, I do find it hard to drink Waite drink later, this normally means up all night, oh one more thing not sleeping well, awake at night 2/3 hrs thank you in advance

I got hicup in the beginning cuase I was eating to fast. chew your food a lot that also helps. Are you tracking your intake? I use fitnesspal.com low cal /carbs = weight loss. Do some walking that helps get everything moving better. laxitive and gas x helps a lot of the pain and pooping will help also.

You are still very much in the healing phase. My best advice is to put the scale away. The first 4-6 week post surgery are for healing not losing. That will come later when you're back and solid foods and fully healed.

Also keep in mind it usually takes most people multiple fills before they have adequate Fluid in their band. The best thing you can do in the meantime is to stick to band sized portion, a cup of food or less per meal, and make smart food choices. Restriction will come it just takes time.

Not to mention....she has already lost 11 lbs in only 23 days. Seems to me...she is already on a a good trend path also.

      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.

      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!
