KAMD......you need more nutrition than you are getting.....are you not using any Protein shakes? Forget about salad for right now....you'll damage yourself trying to eat anything that might cause you to PB and vomit. It's not worth it! You've got a big investment inside your body that you've got to pet for several weeks until it heals and the swelling goes down. Don't worry about calories right now.....just work on the liquids and very soft foods that have nutrition in them. The Protein Shakes will keep your strength up and keep the hunger pangs under control.

If your doctor didn't give you guidance on eating, you might benefit from

www.bariatriceating.com. (Way to Eat forum). Good advice there!!

This is the first time I have responded to this forum. I had kind of a rough day yesterday. I was banded on July 6, 2006. I have stuck to liquids such as slim fast, ensure, Atkins shakes. I really do not like crystal light, so I have stuck with Water. Is there something else that I might have that would get me over the hump until I can eat solids. I'm so afraid to add anything else because of not loosing weight. My most enjoyable treat is sugar free popsickles. I allow one or two a day. Any suggestions would be most helpful.

I'm glad someone describe what PB was because I also am new and didn't know what it meant.

How do you get the ticker bar at the bottom to follow your weight loss and also what size band, etc. I'm very new at this. I could probably figure it out pretty soon, but since I am at work, I don't have a lot of time. Thanks.

Evelyn: Go to tickerfactory.com and follow the instructions. In LBT go to User CP, edit signature, insert picture, paste the URL from tickerfactory.

My nutritionist moved me to mushies at 3 days and solids at about 12 days. I had no problems because I had no restriction. She said it depends on the individual person; extreme hunger is a sign that you are ready to advance, otherwie your body would depress hunger to facilitate healing. This of course has nothing to do with head hunger which is evil and the bane of my existance.

I can't eat bread unless its toasted, sausage, hotdogs, dry meat, eggs, french fries (unless very crispy), steak (I tried and almost died); I must admit that I am mourning sesame chicken and eggrolls.

I CAN eat anything crunchy: croutons, chips, nuts, crackers, popcorn, etc. On days when nothing else will stay down, chips and salsa will. I didn't say I should eat them, just that I could. I have no problems with salad, oatmeal, mashed potatos, cheese, SUSHI, chocolate (even brownies), and pretty much anything with gravy on it.

      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!
