eating less and pigging out!!



Recommended Posts

hello!

I had my operation last month and I’m going to have my first fill this friday!! YEAHHHH!!! I'm ready for some action man!

Anyways i've been quite bad for the past two weeks – been doing some serious pigging out!! AHHHH!!!! I've been to all my favorite restaurants and stuffing myself with yummy food like there’s no tomorrow (almost true in my case!)

Goodness, i must have put on all the weight i lost with that dreadful liquid diet!

The good news is that i actually see a change in my eating habits! Yes I am stuffing myself – but not as much as I could before the operation - I eat LESS than half now!! Did I mention I don’t have a fill yet – lolsss!

After a small amount of delicious food I get that awful! awful! awful! pain in my back and I can’t breath!

The band just won’t allow me my “two weeks of major eating before the fill!”

But anyways I'm quite happy with this band and i just want to say YESS! YESS! YESSS! YESSS! DAMN IT! Maybe there is SOME hope and i might even LOOSE (not put on!) weight!

So glad to hear you sounding happy, a bit pink!! Be careful with that restriction, you've clearly got some. Now the trick is getting used to those smaller portions in your head, as well as your stomach.

Good luck with the fill!! :)

I hear you on the pigging out...tonight we had a Breakfast food meeting. I ordered pancakes and bacon...ate all the bacon and about 7 squares of pancakes...and was STUFFED! I promised myself that while I won't abuse the band I was not going to diet, just rethink how I eat. Now, i'm going to do a pretty vivid walk tonight to walk all that off (not that it was that much food) but I think you are on point about rethinking how you eat. Your band is your new boss as far as your stomach is concerned. As long as you follow it's lead you'll be fine.

Besides that, the pancakes were a little doughy (never quite knew what the meant or tasted like until tonight).

I'm glad your both happy with your bands. Your both doing great and have a wonderful attitude. Pink, I can totally relate about the pigging out but really eating less. I don't know how many times I have belittled myself for pigging out to find I had actually lost weight when I weighed. I love my band too! Best wishes, Teresa

      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!
