So I went to the doctor office today which is at a different location, but with the same doctor but different nurses :)

and they put in 1cc making it 4cc in my band. When I previously had my fills I was only told to wait a few hours then I could eat solid food. But when I went to the doctors office today they told me 2 days on liquids 1 day on soft food then I could have solids. That's what I'm talking about nurses who know ****.... :D :D

Initially when I first started fills I was told liquids right away but if I was fine then softer foods and the next day if I was fine solids. As I got closer to greenzone it was one day liquids then progress to soft then solids. But you're right we all get different instructions and sometimes from person to person at our centers which can be frustrating and confusing at times.

Wish they would all get their act together and prescribe one set if rules for all banded people, it would stop so much confusion amongst us all.

My doc. says 24 hours liquids, then back to solids. Yes, different instructions from different doctors is confusing. There can be a big difference in post op instructions too. I was on liquids one week, mushies the next, then solid food. I have heard of others on liquids and mushies much longer.

congrats!! i also got my first fill today. He put 5ml in my band. Quick and painless! I was told today liquids, tomorrow mushies and Friday solids. He had me drink Water in front of him after my fill to make sure it would pass through with no problem. Every surgeon is different. :)

      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!
