AACK Day 6 and Not sure!!!!



Recommended Posts

What is wrong with me? I do not feel like I am losing weight, and I am soooo bloated I feel like I am pregnant with a bowling ball. Seriously! That's what I look like!

I am hungry, and this liquid diet does NOT satisfy.

I am wondering if it was all worth it?

Plus, I miss my diet cokes! WAH! I'm a big baby.:help:

Snappy, everything will be okay. Right now its the healing stage. You shouldn't worry about losing right now. That will come when you start getting fills.

snappy, at this point it's quite possible that if you were to get on a scale you would not find weight loss. It's just as possible that you would find *some* but probably not much. You just got out of surgery, and your body needs some time to figure out what the hell just happened to it.

Give it some time, you'll feel better!

From what I've read, you don't really truly start losing regularly and steadily until you've had a fill. The band is just placed on your stomach - it's not giving any restriction.

      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!
