Hi Barb - I am feeling good but starting to get bored of the broth, Decaf tea, Protein drinks & Jello. I won't moan about it through. I've already lost 17lbs and that makes it all worth it.

I will def be in touch if questions come up. Thanks for the offer.

SIUH has a very good support group and they will be meeting 1/7 at 6pm. As for the boring food, look at it this way, you are 1 week down. I known I just wanted to get through those first 6 weeks after banding. Now, I am eatting normal foods but in alot smaller portion. Keep up the good work, Barb

Hi

I was banded 3 years ago. SIUH Dr Nicastro & McMullen. I lost 90 pounds. When I complained about acid reflux, they took the Fluid out. I put on 25 lbs. They are slowly adjusting me, but are only putting 1.8 back. I was at 2.5 cc. Very discouraging. It is not working like it did. :bored:

      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!
