It does suck and every since I got lap band, my lower back hurts every time, it never did before. At first I thought it was my chair at work (desk job) and realized the pain went away after I was done. Although, the cramping and pain has gone down drastically and I no longer take midol, so I guess I lessened one pain and gained another :). You'll get through it and the only thing I could safely suggest is liquid tylenol and if you do sugar free, there are some really good Sugar Free Chocolates out there and there's always chocolate Protein Shakes.< /p>

I had four Hershey kisses last night. I logged the calories wasn't over my limit but I know I had them cuz of TOM. They've been on the counter for weeks and then I HAD to have one (ok four) last night. Ugh.

Haha he is working overtime today lol he picked a good day to go in!

I'm going rounds with myself right now.. Cause my tummy is full!!! (With my allowed portion) but I want everything!!!! Lol

Tonight ill treat myself to a no sugar added Water ice for 50 cals .. That's if I'm even hungry after dinner :/

My cramps r laughing at the Tylenol... I may take some liquid Vicodin later.. I've had severe cramping since I was 13, been tested for everything possibly medically related and I'm clear.. It's just my body :(

      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!
