I just had the procedure 3 days ago..



Recommended Posts

and I am suppose to be on clear fluids for 4 days then full fluids for 10 days, but I have no problem drinking a liter at time, and I do not feel at all full. Is this normal, will I not feel full until I get the first fill?

Did everyone stick to the schedule of clear - full - purred and then solid?

Thanks,

Carla

I was not hungry at all for the first couple of weeks. I stuck right with the food restrictions as I paid $16,000 and really wanted this to work. I was also scared about doing some damage to the band.

I also was not hungry at all (banded July 5) and am now on full fluids. I sometimes have more than a half cup of Soup, but other than that, I am sticking really carefully to the post op diet. I don't want to stretch the pouch (the small part of the stomach above the band) . Besides, I love that I'm losing weight already. Stick with the diet!!!!!

Yeah me too. I am able to eat about 6 oz. (liquid) of Soup ... I could eat more but I am not doing it...

I wait 2-3 hrs and if I am still hungry or stomach is growling then I have another snack or more cream soup.

I was banded June 22 and I gotta tell you, I was starving by the 3rd day. I just drank my fluids and made up my mind that it was ok to be hungry. I guess I just got used to the feeling and now I kinda like the hunger feeling. My surgeon has me on 4 weeks of clear fluids. YES! You read right. I have done pretty good. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks and today I broke down and had some cream Soup and a Protein shake. Now I go full fluids for 2 weeks, then mushies for 2 weeks. Yah! I was not required to do a pre op diet, so since my banding on June 22 (as of today) I have lost 37 lbs.

      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?
