March 2014 Bandsters - Let's Do This!



Recommended Posts

I saw a YouTube video where someone drained the broth from chicken noodle Soup. The broth is a bit thicker and much richer than regular broth. She said it was filled and tasted like fried chicken. Lol.. I hope you find something that works. My date is in 3 days! I have to do 2 day clear liquid before date.. I'm gonna try that liquid fried chicken!!

That's how I felt, and still do almost a week post op. I flipped out on my husband for eating in front of me. You just have to keep your eye on the prize and remember it's only temporary, and for you own benefit. I tried different things like juicing, and broth.

I feel the same way. The best thing I've found is Popsicles, Greek yogurt & oatmeal to help with the craving to chew & to fell full. My surgeon said that Soup broths are good too so I've done the fat free Tomato Soups or broth drained soups. Keep it going, you've got this.

I'm currently in my room at the hospital and was banded a few hours ago! I can't believe it's done! I'm sore & experiencing the shoulder gas pain but I'm getting up soon to walk around & start letting things break up (hopefully). Woohoo

Hello

Hope your recovery is as uneventful as mine and all goes well. Just stick to the plan one day at a time. 1/2 lb a day...seems like a little but I will take it in the long haul.

Keep your eye on the final results and this time next year just imagine the after pictures we will be posting

Good luck

Kim

Congratulations! It was a relief to me when it was all done as well! I hope you have a speedy recovery!

I know people posted it somewhere else - how do you deal with gas pains? I'm considering going to the gym to help with it but don't want to push 24 hrs post op?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
