First week drinking questions.



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I was banded on 8/14/08, the question I have is should you feel every drink you take?

Im on Clear Liquids and I can feel evey drink I take, when I say feel it I mean I can feel it at the band site, its kind of like a full filling, I am able to cuntiune drinking and at times can even hear a little gurgling sound.

Now none of this is causing me any stress or pain I was just wondering if you all experienced these types of things.

Thanks EVERYONE for being here!!!

Yes . . . it is absolutely normal and expected. I can still feel them over six months out when they are hot or cold. This is especially true first thing in the morning.

The sensation gets to be less over time, but never goes away completely. It is never the same as the "early" days unless it is very early or very late in the day.

If I take a sip of Water before bed and lay down immediately after, I can not only feel it, I can hear it gurgling through. My husband always laughs at the lovely sounds I make when I am trying to go to sleep :0)

I agree with Heather, what you are feeling is perfectly normal.

My entire digestive system makes a ton of noise now! gurgling, rumbling etc.

      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!
