After the first month



Recommended Posts

Has anyone eaten a cheeseburger or something like that after the first month of having the band?

And i was wondering during the mushies stage can i eat scrambled eggs?

Has anyone had problemas eating rice?

I'm okay with rice but it took awhile, I can eat just about anything in small amounts but I choose healthy foods......not cheeseburgers....that would totally defeat the purpose of the band, why would you want to eat stuff like that and sabotage your weight loss?

Experiment and you will find out what you can tolerate, but make it healthy choices.

Cheeseburgers...not a good idea. You know why!! :eek:

My doctor was OK with scrambled eggs during mushies. However, I've known a few people to have trouble with them. I can eat Egg Beaters just fine, but did PB on regular real eggs, which were scrambled.

Rice is just fine with me too. Personally, rice has been fine but I only eat whole grain brown rice because white rice is almost as bad as the cheeseburger!!

You'll learn how to experiment with foods. You'll just need to take it slow but you're right to want to explore. You should eat a variety of foods and the only way you'll know if they cause YOU trouble is by testing it out.

One idea, if your looking for mushies ideas...I loved eating fat-free refried Beans during this stage. For some reason they were just very satisfying to me and really filled me up. I still enjoy them sometimes!

Hope this helps! Good luck!

      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.

      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!
