Question for successful banders 3 years out



Recommended Posts

I am one of those people who can't go to sleep when I'm physically hungry. I'll just lie there and roll around while my body complains. :) So if it's 4+ hrs between dinner and bedtime, I usually have to indulge in a nibble. Calorie-wise, I just plan for it.

But ever since my bout with reflux when I was on oral steroids, I do try to avoid eating immediately before lying down. An hour beforehand seems to work well for me.

If I'm hungry at night I ignore it (probably have a cup of coffee). I just go to bed hungry. I dont find that hard to do, I've never been a night time eater.

Well unfortunately because of bad reflux problems (from my first fill being way too tight) I can not eat 3 - 4 hours before going to bed. I usually try to eat something small, but filling with Protein if possible, (cottage cheese & fruit) around 6 pm. I usually do not eat after 6:00 or 6:30. This tends to keep me from being and/or waking up in the middle of the night hungry.

I was told by my nutrionist to avoid eating before going to bed but it doesn't have anything to do with the band it is just a good idea when trying to lose weight...burning fat while you sleep vs burning calories. I am an early riser and go to bed at 9PM so I am usually still good to go from my 5PM dinner but I do wake up quite hungry and have to wait an hour to eat because of my thyroid meds!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting 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?
