Woo Hoo!!! I had my first PB today.



Recommended Posts

I guess that means after 2 fills my band is working. I ordered a small burrito at Baja Fresh after eating 1/3 I felt it trying to come up. I attempted to keep it down but just not happening.

I reached for a few napkins and up came sum of my lunch. I then decided to eat only the inside of it and leave the flour shell for the trash can. I felt full and yet did not eat much at all.

Kind of gross but I was glad to see it did its job.

Congratualtions!!!!!!!

It is gross and it sounds like you handled real well. I have not had a public episode yet and pray that I handle it as graceful as you did.

I had that happen when I took my grandaughter out to dinner. She had been asking to go to Olive Garden. I figured I could have the Soup and salad combo....

The salad got stuck and out it came. Like you I had plenty of napkins and no one even knew what had happened. I did excuse myself to the rest room for a refreshing splash of cool Water, but when I got back to the table all was normal. I ate a small amount of the Soup, no more salad and no breadsticks. Even the larger pieces of ingredients were left in the soup bowl.

The best part was that I was fully satisfied, as was my grandaughter who ate some kind of shrimp and Pasta dish woth lots of salad and breadsticks. She is 5'1 and weighs 100 pounds soaking wet so she can afford it!

      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!
