Hi everyone! Just joined the group today. I hope everyone is recovering well with very little pain. I was banded 12/18 so I'm still on liquids............not hungry yet, but I heard that happens around day 10. OK gotta get moving...........need to "walk it out" and many of you know just what I'm talking about - lol!!!

hi luckyjyn, I was banded a day after you. I started to get a little hungry already but the carnation instant breakfasts sure help. I go to my doctor next friday so I should be able to start my puree'd foods then. I can also have cream Soups strained and broth of course and other thick liquids. Im down 22 lbs now and very excited about that. I start the gym on monday for the treadmill ...

glad you joined us ..

Welcome to the group luckyjyn! Congrats on your banding. I was banded on the 5th and doing great. I really was suprised about how little pain I had at all. I am released from light lifting now and am ready to take on the world. LOL - ok well maybe not the world but still gotta love how this feels.

Hi everyone, Just got banded December 30th: Happy New Year and Happy new me!

I'm feeling real good today, and returned to my normal activity. I look forward to a great year, and appreciate the support:tongue:!

Now, gotta get rid of all of the holiday goodies! I'm not tempted, but I think it would be good for my whole family to start anew!

      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?

        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.
