for the newbies bandits,, read this as a learning experience

eat slow, chew alot and stop eating (or eating too soon after surgery) before dr says for you too.

(even if its soft or you think/assume its ok)

like aj said, thats the band saying take me serious

My doctor told me that I was on a liquid diet for two weeks then after that two weeks of puree. I bought beef broth and more boost but I really am not that hungry. This is a whole new world. I always loved my food and it was always my comfort, not anymore. Funny how things change. I am so excited for each of us and our new journey.

My problem as I see it is:

I waited too long to eat AND I was paying attention to my children instead of my baby plate and baby spoon ( thank you very much!)

My point was to warn that it hurts like hell is running through your chest even if you have a baby spoon when you don't pay attention.

Lesson learned!

At week three I was still on soft mushies like yogurt and cottage cheese. I did not move to denser mushies like canned chicken until week 4. You may want to consider soft mushies for a few days before moving back to chicken. .

Oh and I'm 3 weeks post op with no fill. I call bull crap on my Dr who said I was wide open like as if I didn't have the band right now!!

I know a lady who lost 100lbs before she ever needed a fill. So everyone is different.

Lesson learned, huh.

Our doctors/nut all have different plans. I'm following mine. It wasn't the type of food, I'll have to learn sooner or later to respect the band. Fault was all mine!

Amen, been there done that before, actually did it today, in a hurry to go to mall with hubby to buy boots for Me. Was not paying attention and then that lump in the back of my throat started, the saliva started forming in my mouth and Katy bar the door off I ran. And I am two years out and have not had a fill in over 7 months and most days don't even remember I have my band because I follow the rules. So it happens to all of us and it sucks.

      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!
