my "biggest" problem so far ...



Recommended Posts

Is I can't bring myself to eat Breakfast yet .. I just can't stomach the thought of eating in the morning.

On the days I do try, I wind up feeling so sick to my stomach I can't hardly eat the rest of the day.

HELP! How can I work myself up to Breakfast? ??

some people can't eat breakfast. My dr told me not to eat it if I wasn't hungry.

The truth is that now that I have restriction I can't really eat it. I have to be up a few hours before I can even attempt or else I PB.

I also have a book about lapband and it says that you don't have to eat breakfast, that it's just a "myth". But of course, you should check w/ your dr.

If you MUST eat something for breakfast, maybe try a Protein Shake instead of solid food. A lot of bandsters can't eat until later in the morning, because their bands are too tight to eat early in the AM. Personally, I just don't eat breakfast unless I'm hungry, and then it's usually plain oatmeal.< /p>

I was just going to suggest the Protein Shake. I usually make a Protein Shake for breakie every morning before leaving for work (granted I have no restriction at the moment) and sip away at it for a couple of hours when I first get to work and I find it usually tides me over until lunch time - plus you get a head start on your Protein for the day.

      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!
