What to you experience when you are "done" eating?



Recommended Posts

I was banded 2/20/2013, I am 15 lbs from goal weight. I was wondering what everyone experiences when they are "done" eating and if my experience is typical. First thing that happens is that my nose runs, then I start hiccupping. If I take another bite, then I have pain and I have to stop. Period. Sometimes I can wait, and the food finally goes down, if not, I am running to the bathroom to throw up. It comes up pretty much as it went down. dinner is over. There are some days everything goes down fine. There will be a day or two in a row that nothing seems to be going down except liquid. I get worried that maybe my band has slipped. The next day everything is back to normal again. Anyone else experience this?

Thanks for your input.

lately large burps...! and if I try to continue to eat it feels like what I did eat wants to come back up, there has never been a day that I can't eat, but there are days that it has to be soft foods.. I know sometimes its a mental thing just used to eating and eating and I admit sometimes when I forget to take small bites I do tend to eat more, but boy do I feel it, my lapband sticks out like a golfball.

I get sleepy. If I eat a little more than I should, I get pain in the upper part of my back/shoulder.

I used to get those signals. Now, occasionally I'll get a hiccup or two but mostly I start to feel pressure near my sternum where the pouch is so I stop for a while to see if it stays or goes away.

That's pretty much what I feel, a pressure in sternum that is.

      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!
