Recommended Posts

today i feel like bawling my eyes out! i feel like crap from having the flu and now a stuffy nose and sore throat. listen to me whine...sorry. all i want to do is eat, and i am suppose to be on my pre-op diet. i cheated. now i want to cry even more. and i am stuck here at work and all i want to do is go home and curl up in bed and cry. and go to the bathroom and puke up what i ate since i am not suppose to. i think i need some extra sleep or something. i feel like i weigh about a zillion pounds right now. i am bloated and just feel ikcy all around, what am i doing? i am so excited to get this done next week. why am i wiggin out now? is anyone else doing this same sort of thing?

Dear Want so bad,

Seems to me your having a case of "nerves", just plain ol' nervous nerves,by all means don't throw up what you've just consumed, forget about it!!! so you ate something not on your pre-op diet, tomarrow is a new day, start fresh tomarrow, but tonight may I sugest a couple of things....1) re-new your mind.. look at before and after pics of lap-band patients, this will renew your excitment, as well as give you something to look foward too, one day you will be posting before and after pics). 2) re examine the reasons your having a lap band, health reasons perhaps, more energy, what ever the reason dont let a temporary siuation(feeling) cloud your enthusiasm for the life changing decision you've decided to make....... I applaude you for stepping up to the plate to take control over your weight, 3) i don't know your religious beliefs, but I strongly encourage you to pray, the bible says a righteous man(woman) falls seven times, but gets back up.... You can do this!!!! and with the support of family, friends, and this site, your bound to succeed. God Bless.

want so bad- I am hearing ya loud and clear! I got home from this first day of the pre-op diet and wanted to lose my mind. I was grouchy, anxious, and thought I was starving. I ate two no bake cookies! Yikes! I stopped myself and took some deep breaths and thought about the reasons I am having this surgery and how wonderful it will be. I was so having a stress moment about the wanting to eat- that I almost had a eating frenzy of not good foods. I stopped at the two Cookies and ate my dinner that is part of the diet. I feel better now. Throughout the day I have had moments where I wanted to give in, but it I just divert my attentions and do something else, once the 15 minutes or so pass, I am fine. Hang in there- we can do it! Don't let your slip up derail your progress. Just start again from this moment on.

I drank a few glasses of Water and that filled my tummy up too and really seemed to help. Try to really keep up the Water intake to fill you up.

      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!
