Banded for 8 months and have lost 6.5 stone



Recommended Posts

I guys

I'm new to this 8months down and have lost 6.5 stone, and am delighted better than I ever cod if imagined. I knew I would lies but not this quickly, it has been really easy as well.

Have had 2 band fills and the last one has lasted since October.

This band fill has left me needing to consume very little which at first I thought was good

But my question is

Is it ?

Is it really healthy to live on so little?

Feeling confused

it sounds as if you are doing really good. i think most of us consume 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food 3 times a day. i also take a Multivitamin and vit. B12 vitb 50 Biotin and Calcium 1000mg and vit. d5000. and at least 60 grams of Protein a day. the Protein usually comes from food not supplements. but i do drink Protein Shake if i need the supplement. your body will let you know if something is wrong. are you getting blood work once in awhile to make sure you are chemically normal? i hope this is helpful

We are here for you. Like begets like. You are doing fantastic. You are not gaining weight are you.? I know just how you feel , even after almost 4 years. I eat very very little. I am so used to it. That's why quality is more important than quantity.. Crapy food in your mouth is just wasted time and calories, you wouldn't put bad gas in your car would you.? Or in your dog or cat.

And if you have been reading the post, you know how I feel about alcohol.

Keep up ALL the positive things in your life. Hugs

      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!
