Recommended Posts

Evening all. I could do with some help. I've reached restriction and I'm struggling to eat sensibly. Most days I have snack a jack rice cakes, salad, hot choc/tea sometimes muller rice. I'm finding a lot of food just won't go down. Am I going to lose weight eating this little? I don't really feel hungry ever, I also don't drink any Water other then in tea. The scale hasn't moved for 3 weeks even though I can see my body changing. It's surprising to see how much my wedding dress has been bought in from fitting to fitting! Final fitting done now. Getting married next week! I really wanted to loose another 10 lbs to put me at 18st but I just can't shift it. I'm 12 weeks banded. Help! Dress photos show 3 weeks ago and yesterday! Xx

I'm no expert, but when I read that you can only get just a few different types of food down, I read this as having a little too much restriction. You should still be able to eat most of your Proteins, like eggs, chicken, Beans, fish. Too few calories can cause people to plateau. I don't know, this was just a thought !

And I forgot to add..... Congrats on your upcoming wedding !!!!

You need Protein darling. Otherwise you are starving yourself. Talk to your doctor. You don't want to be sick so close to the wedding.

Quantity doesn't matter to us, quality does and from the list you've described you should have any of this stuff at this stage of the game anyway. What about your Protein? Rice (carbs), rice cakes (carbs), salad (no nutritional value alone, lettuce leaves) all can swell and or go down too large to pass through. Rapid weight loss won't hurt you, but if you aren't getting the proper nutrition your body will eventually respond in kind. You can expect to feel weak, suffer from hair loss, brittle nails, poor skin quality and the elasticity in your skin will also suffer. Until you can adopt better food choices, you should show diligence in taking your Vitamins and supplements.

      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.

        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!
