Need help feeling down



Recommended Posts

I know how you feel! I felt like this a couple of days ago thanks to my vet that had been banded for years that put me back on track. We have to eat our Protein first then the other foods. Slider foods are like cream of wheat that is loose not thick it can run off your spoon, baby food, purée foods. An remember don't drink 30 to 45 minutes before your meal and 2 hours after. I too love this site being a Newbie takes time and commitment and encouragement from others that have been where we are now! I'm glad I did the band and I know you are too. We just have to listen, follow Dr instructions and walk walk and sip sip and chew chew little bites. One day we will look back and be Vets to help Newbies like ourselves. Have a bless day and don't worry you will hit your green zone it takes a while for some. I'm waiting on my first fill in January 3 2013, xoxoxoxox

The tuna was probably ok, I never would have done lettuce this early on. Kiel up the great work with the mushies!

You just need to keep trying things and keep track of what keeps you full and what gets stuck. I had a very small menu to start, but I found what I liked and what worked. When I have stalls or start eating too much, I go back to that list.

Hang in there. it is a tough time of year and the body does strange stuff while healing. Stay away from the scales for a few days' date=' and eat more protein.[/quote']

Excellent advice, thanks!

Please don't be sad. Same thing happened to me. Just concentrate on healing & trust me you will be fine. I was worried as well & my dr dismissed my concerns & said "we haven't really started yet". You body is holding on to anything you can give it while you are healing. Xx

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
