"Golf Ball" uncomfortable to "Bottomless Pit"

I agree with both Tricia and Leatha!

I love pizza. I used to eat three or four pieces of a large pizza.< /p>

Now I only eat the topping off of one slice. But, I am full after that so what difference does it make?

All I need is to not be hungry and to get slim and the band has accomplished that for me with a little help from me. (Almost slim at least.)

Later.! :)

This has been a very helpful post.....I too have had this golf ball feeling. It pops up when it wants, most of the time it is from not paying attention to what i am doing....EATING.....eating to fast, dried food, drinking unconcouisly, then it is to late. My understanding of the band for losing was that it will be a lot slower than RNY that was a major reason for me because I want my skin to slowly change also.....I was banded 05-03-04 Baton Rouge by Dr. Bellanger 219/190 now. I am down only 29, more to come but it is also giving my brain the time to ajust to the new me that is coming.......I finally found some support to...I did not get it from where I had my surgery they are still stuck on the RNY....went to a meeting and never went back told my husband there was nothing but a bunch of pissed off fat women there (i can say that I am Fat and a woman) but I am determined to change that and not use it as a crutch......Candy Hang in there hun don't blame the band yet you've lost just give your esophogus and stoma a rest for a few days and try what you ate another time you just not tolerating it yet......scrambled eggs for me still........and that was the first thing solid they told me to eat.....Good luck on your journey....Just curious how much Protein are you drinking a day......

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
