This was easy to find so I hope all the aMAYzing bandsters can find it and switch over. It might take a while but eventually they will find it. It's the old 'if you build it they will come' thing.

I am eating everything I'm not supposed to because I can. i'm four weeks post op with no fill yet. I was supposed to go in Monday for my first but when they found out I was leaving town on Tuesday they decided to make me wait till i get back. I'm going home for a family reunion with lot's of food because we all know that is what families do . . . . they eat! I need a quick kick in the pants to get back on the program, especially since it's strawberry shortcake season.. . . . . . help!

Wenjea, my best advice for keeping you on the staight & narrow eating wise is to read the post about PBing and those who have slipped bands! If that doesn't frighten you in to eating according to the band rules nothing will!!! I am banded a few weeks ahead of you but I have no restriction at the moment and could eat my way through the refridgerator and I'm really struggling. Instead I come on here and read the horror stories - works for me and might for other who are struggling.

that definitely scares me- also as I'm self pay, there is no way I could afford a 2nd operation!

I'll officially be 4 weeks tomorrow and am going for a fill on Wed- I think I can advance my diet to regular stuff tomorrow - going to call the MD's office to be certain its ok to do it before being seen. I miss beef!

      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!
