having trouble eating in the am



Recommended Posts

so lately i can really not eat much until like after 12 pm or 1. Breakfast is a no go at all

i think i may be a little too tight . Sometimes lately i have issues eating and then i just won't eat . I was having some PB issues there for a while

i would eat something little and yup back up it would come . I can not really eat salads anymore . My question is how do you know when your band has all the sudden gotten too tight. I do burp a lot . I guess i just need to eat slower and try to eat more frequent . i have problems with a lot of food that i am just afraid to eat in fear it will come back up . I am tiring to loose the last 20 lbs and my body will not budge . I need dome helpful meal and snack ideas as well

Thanks

My test to suspect being overly tight is this: food consistency is the test. Take Progresso Soup for example. If you can eat Progresso Soups like beef and barley, chicken noodle Soup, fajita chicken soup or most any of the Soups with small bits of meat and well cooked soft vegetables, you're not too tight. I still chew most all of these bits of meat, vegetables, rice and barley before swallowing. I also still eat very slow so that it usually takes me a good 15 minutes to eat a can of soup.

So, if you can eat soups(not the creamed soups) with meat, veggies, rice or barley, you may not be too tight. If these foods still cause stuck and PB episodes, you may need a small unfill. I had .25 CC taken out once and it made all the difference I needed.

I have not had a solid Breakfast in years....I have a high Protein smoothie, and it gurgles when going down...

Gets better as the day goes on.

I stalled for several months and went on the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet. But I changed it up to a 4:3 diet. I've lost 17 lbs in the last 3 months. Here's an overview if you're interested?

      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.

      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!
