Help After Car Accident!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi! I was banded in '09! Well Feb '10 I was in a car accident. So since then have been dealing with my injuries. I had my, hopefully, last surgery in Nov. when I had the accident I was down 80lbs, since then I have gained about 30 with all the stress involved. I just really need help and the motivation to get back on track. I really am so happy with my band just need the extra help to get back in my diet! Thanks to any and all that might be able to help!!

I gained 30lbs after my car accident too, but it was pre band and that was what started the process.

I'd look at it as, ok I survived and accident that could have taken my life, but I'm still here and it's time to make myself even healthier. Go back to your band way of eating, see your Dr for a fill if need be. You did this once, you can do it again.

Log what you're eating and stick to your plan.

You survived and car accident, you can do this too!

Glad you're back with us!

Get back on track drinking lots of Protein shakes. Bloat yourself with lots of Water and SF Jello. Drink lots of Broths. Push your brain like you had started all over again. Break the old habits with the ones that were allowing you to lose weight.

Best Wishes

      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.

      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!
