2 Months Banded in CT, disgusted with Self



Recommended Posts

Greetings all! I was banded on March 18, 2008. I immediately gained 6lbs back after. (I had lost 15 on the liquid diet before). I have since managed to lose the 6 I had gained plus 7 more. I am not saying that is a bad amount, but I have not managed to shed the bad habits in spite of the opportunity I have received and I am thoroughly disgusted with myself. Anybody else going through this?

Hope to hear!!

I am. I feel my habits are starting to return. I also find myself eating just because, like before. I am so afraid i am going to hurt myself in the process with a complication of some kind with the band. I'm not sure how to get out of this rut, i do feel your pain.

Have you had any fills yet? If not you won't feel much restriction. Once you get to the "sweet spot" your restriction will not allow you to be crazy with food. One thing you have to keep in your head, this is only a tool. You get out of the band what you put into it. I've not lost anything in the past few months, staying the same, yet I'd like to lose another 20 - 40 lbs. Will it happen? I don't know, depends totally on me.

      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!
