So yesterday was my 2 month bandiversary and last month was quite difficult for me. I started anew at the beginning of this month and am doing much better. I've already lost a few pounds. I got my second fill on the 30th and was hoping it would do something for me because I previously had no restriction at all. Well, last night I went to Boston Market and got a chicken dinner with mac and chesse, sweet potatos and cornbread. I was able to eat about half of it and I felt sick I was so full. I went and stood over the toilet for a minute because I got this rush of saliva and couldn't stop spitting and then the food just came back up. I didn't even try, I gagged twice which I was worried might make the band slip, but I'm so happy I had that reaction. It means I finally have some retriction. It was like I had taken one bite too many and my body said "No."

I also learned that I need to eat more solid foods. I hadn't realized it until I ate chicken and bread, but I've been eating lots of soft foods. Like stage 2/3 kind of foods. Fish, puddings, Jello, Beans, soft vegtables, potatoes etc... and the food goes down too easily. I ate chicken and got full fast. Anyway, here's to a much better month and hopefully watching the scale go down!

I know exactly what you mean. I had my first fill on Friday and up to that point, I didn't feel like I had any restriction (well not since I had been able to eat regular foods) but on Sat. night I ate one too many bites and my body told me no way! I never did have anything come up but my mouth was so full of saliva like I was going to get sick that I just kept spitting and spitting. In addition to that it hurt! So I was so glad too that I finally knew what it felt like and to know that I really had some restriction!

      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.

      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!
