New Years Resolution



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I was banded on Dec. 31, 2008 talk about a New Years Resolution huh? I am very excited about this new journey in my life and also a little scared. I have failed so many times before but I know that this time is different. My whole family is involved and very supportive. I feel very blessed. This is my 7th day and I am not scheduled for my post-op until Jan 20th. So it seems like I have a lot of time before I can even get a fill. I am trying to get used to the full feeling and realize that when I feel that I need to stop. It is defineatly a learning experience. I have done well and have had no problem eating. I am feeling very bloated and tight in my stomach. It is a very uncomfortable feeling I actually feel bigger now than what I did before. So much so that I don't even want to weigh myself. I so dont want to fail. Any advice out there I would love to hear from you.

Thanks in advance.:thumbup:

Congrats on getting your band and do take a look around the forums. Lots of great discussions and plenty of support from others that are going through the same experiences. As I say the easy part is over now and the hard part begins. Living life with the lapband. The weight will come off you just have to make it work for you!

Best of luck!

Thanks for the replies I am doing much better on the bloating now I just got to get past being so hungry. I don't know which is worst being in pain or being hungry. Im still on the full liquids and I miss chewing lol! Hope all is going well for the rest of you.

      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!
