WOW! Thats so cool, I did not notice that. I am feeling good. My port site is still really sore. I started back to work yesterday and that totally wore me out. Sitting in a chair with my port hurting is not the best thing in the world. How are you feeling? Do you feel like you have any restriction? My doctor said since my stomach would be swollen, I would feel like I was restricted, and that should go away in a week or two, and so far it has not. I am never hungry, and I am having a hard time getting in my protien and Water. I think the most water I have drank in a day is 30 ounces. When I drink my protien shake, it takes me forever to drink it and when I finish it has filled me up for almost the entire day. My liquid diet consisted of protien drinks and water. But hey I am not complaining or nothing, I lost 14 lbs on the 1 week preop diet and have lost 4 in the week since surgery.

Well I believe I'm the first one from Oregon! I live in Maupin, Oregon, Population 500! I was banded in Tijuana, Mexico by Dr. Pedro Kuri on June 17, 2008. To this date it has been 1 week and I have lost 11 lbs, but I did not have to do a pre-op diet. Good Luck to all! Kerry

JBFlorida- How are you doing so far? Have you had your first adjustment yet? who was your Doctor? Mine was Dr. Grossbard and Dr. DiCicco through JourneyLite.

      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.

        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!
