diet disaster since Easter



Recommended Posts

Hey, Just banded!

The sugar thing sounds like a critical point. The psychiatrist at my surgeon's office suggested (strongly!) that I get the book, "Potatoes not Prozac". I think it's about the carb/sugar addiction so many of us struggle with. I ordered it today. I'm getting the band next Thursday and I don't want to &*@% it up after all the time and money I have spent to get here. I'll stay away from sugar completely so I don't get on that roller coaster again! Yeah, I know - easier said than done! Wish me luck.

I would not drink Water or anything to get more food down. the band is a tool not a cure, and one must change their eating habbits to make this work. I don't mean to be this blunt, but we have to pick up and keep going. we did not gain all this weight in weeks, or months, and it takes a lot of will power to achieve our goals. try having a Soup before you eat, it works for me most of the time.

P.S. I did fall off the program and had chips last night. I did not even eat these before the band, I could kick my self today, but am moving on.

good luck with your fill, and remember its a tool, not a cure.

Donna - I have never been a big chip eater - but I still occaissionally have maybe 10 - 15 chips - but i to fit them into my daily calorie budget - we still have to live life - that's why I say I eat healthy 98% of the time and allow for 2% treats - but again they are always budgeted and I 99.9% of the time stay within my 900-1200 calories 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.

      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!
