Why no caffeine and no carbonation



Recommended Posts

I know that I went a little nuts in college after losing a lot of weight and decided that I REALLY liked beer...I drank lots of beer (I usually drank liquor) because a.) i liked it and b.) it was cheaper. And I was in a sorority, and well gotta show off those beer bonging, keg stand, beer chugging skills right? WRONG....my band hasnt been the same since, I dont know if there really is anything wrong with it because I havent had it looked it because Ive been preggers, but after Im done being pregnant Im gonna go get it checked out...I know that I didnt have much of a fill when I was doing all that with the beer and after a month of beer drinking, I was puking EVERYTHING (even Water and milk and stuff) up every time I ate or drank ANYTHING. Seems like the carbonation + band mix really screwed me up....granted its been a long time since all that happened and it could have been a temporary problem, Im completely unfilled right now and can eat anything! WHICH IS NOT GOOD! Before I started drinking carbonation, even unfilled I felt restriction...now its nothing at all, like I may have stretched out the pouch and it allows more food to initially go in....I have several theories, none of them certain or proven lol! But I definately think my carbonation intake could have messed up my band

      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.

      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!
