Third Fill....a bit disappointed



Recommended Posts

Ok, my fill went great with no unexpected issues. However, I gained .4 pounds!! Totally not happy with that but my doctor says it is to be expected and she is pleased with my continued loss of inches. I must increase my motivation to get to the gym and partner my workouts with the work of the lapband for some true success.. I refuse to go backward any longer..

I really need some food types also because mostly I'm mot hungry for anything so a can of Soup is my usual, just too high in sodium. Time to search out some tips, I'm opinion to all input..

Soups are considered a slider food and won't give you the satiety that solid food and Protein gives. If Soup works for you to lose weight you might continue till it doesn't, but it's the antithesis of the type of food that makes the band do it's magic.

Hi, how about making a stew? It would be more filling than a can of Soup, you could control the sodium, and it would be more healthier.

I'm pretty much the same way....because of the band I am seldom hungry whether I eat or not......and most days cannot decide on what to eat...soup is always a good fallback for me...especially lunch...even though it's a slider, that has nothing to do with my hunger...I just don't feel the need to eat....24-7

scales go up and down all day long..

heck you can pee or poop that out...and could be salt/water retention so drink alot....if you are losing inches you are losing weight....and that is what it is all about...you are doing great....focus on the big picture, not just what the scale showed one time...

      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.

        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!
