Hate my band today!



Recommended Posts

I just need to vent.

I'm Havin a day where nothing goes down, everything I attempt gets stuck, even my 'go to' foods. I'm sick of shakes and liquids and I would just about KILL for a nice chicken and salad sandwich! I started as a low BMI bandster last November. I'm not far off my goals but I have days where I get so frustrated that I can't eat seemingly 'normal' foods without some

Form of discomfort. I know today is just an off day and tomoro will be better. I just need to get it out to those who understand and who have times where they just wanna resort to bad things that don't cause any grief! Tell me you all feel my

Pain!

I know the feeling. I had a fill last December that finally gave me restriction. Did not get my first actual food stick until about a year in. I think maybe my fill is actually a little too much for me because now all the healthy stuff is getting stuck too. It is making me drink my calories rather than eat food. I am also off my Protein routine. I hate the drinks now and keep lying that I can manage the Protein with food alone. But I know I don't. When days get bad I always drink hot liquids before eating. Loosens the stoma.

Yup, the killer for me is when a food goes down just fine one time and later on that same day gets stuck.

For me salt has a huge part. If I eat anything that is salty, my stoma will be swollen by the next day and its liquids only for me for at least 24 hours. I try to steer clear of salt at all times now.

And that means all pre packages processed foods that are high in sodium!

I have the same problem.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
