Well I was banded on Sept 22 and lost a total of 10 pounds between then and November 10th when I has my first fill. When I got on the scale yesterday morning I was up 5 pound from the day before but for my that is not uncommon because of Fluid retention around that time of the month. But today I am back down that 5 pounds I just wish the scale didn't have that 5 pounds so the Dr could see it really was a 10 pound loss not 5. I am happy with that first 10 because it is more then I would have loss on any other diet and more then I have ever loss in 6 weeks before.

I was ready for a fill about 3 weeks post op but like everyone else had to wait. So I went for my first fill yesterday and I was filled with 4cc. I have been doing liquids and did do some mushy cireal because I was so stinken hungry I was going in saine needed to take the edge off. My stomach was having a musical number from being empty.

So today I decided to do spagettie o's and I can tell the difference. I have to eat slow because it feels like it takes longer to go from my throat to my stomach and after about 10 spoon fulls I am done. I do need to eat something every couple of hours.

My incissions heeled kind of slow. My large on where my port is had one cornor that never closed like It was supposed to so I had to keep Bacitracin ointment and change the dressing 2 time a day until the last week in October. Now it is healed over finally. The rest of my incissions were healed about 2 1/2 -3 weeks post op.

I am a dinner at work and since I had the time I thought I would fill everyone in.

The reason's I have not been on so much is because I have been wicked tired from my Chronic Fatigue syndrome so I just have not had the extra energy. Also I have been trying to be positive about the 10 lbs and I was worried if I saw the other Sept bandsters loosing alot I might get down about it.

Anyways I am going to make more of an effort to check in atleast every couple days.

Hope everyone is happy in bandster land...:)

      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!
