I've Been a Very Bad Bandster



Recommended Posts

So I quit smoking about a year ago and suddenly my green zone fill was like not being banded at all and I let it go for too long. food smells and tastes so good now and I'm loose as all get out so everything goes down. I've gained all but about 10 pounds of my weight back - I didn't know it was that bad until this morning when I had my gym orientation at work. The weird thing? My shape is TOTALLY different from what it was pre-band at about the same weight (at least I'm sexy with it this time). I'm disappointed in myself still but the fat came back differently than it was before. Anyway, I'm rededicated and waiting for my appointment on the 30th for a fill and I'm going to start working out before work or during my lunch break tomorrow. I have to start eating right again, but I know that will come with getting my fills again.

Wish me luck.

Quitting smoking is a great accomplishment! Be proud of yourself for that.

My band feels like it's disappeared when I have PMS :P It really sucks. I had a tightening recently and it's a good restriction when I don't have PMS... nervous about when PMS strikes again since I can't just tighten it for the 4-5 days when I get the progesterone-induced munchies.

Anyway, if you've been at the green zone before you'll get there again!

      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!
