Why don't I feel restriction when the fluoro shows I have it?????

I know I expected a lot more of a hard stop from my band than what I actually get with 3ml. I can still eat pretty much any food, some are harder than others of course - what is it with fish, ugh - but when I concentrate on letting the band help me, not control me, I realise that the way it works is pretty good.

Firt it is prefectly normal to feel more tight in the morning than at night, I am that way too, I hate it cause I am weakest at night when it come to choices, so I try to eat very few calories with lunch and Breakfast so that I can eat a little more at dinner and still be ok. If you are hungrier at night make sure to fill up on veggies after you protien and when you start to feel hungry again that means it's bedtime :D

OK. What I expected to feel is what I feel in the morning...a sense of fullness after the right amount of food. From lunch on, I can sit quietly and chew small bites...and I don't get any sensation. In the morning, I get the sensation of fullness, but it only lasts an hour. I've been wondering if the sensation is something I neeed to develop....maybe after eyars of shoveling it in, I'm a bit dead to food cues? Really don't know if it's me or the need for a fill...... I do know that I can eat foods that other have problems with, and they go right down, big or small bites, chewed or not. I keep thinking even if I'n desensitized to food cues, I should at least feel something physiological, like PBing..... Did you all have any trouble sensing fullness at first?

      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!
