Lap Band Fills

Hi,

I have been having a problem trying to get adjusted to a good fill. I am tight but able to eat a cup of food generally. As long as I chew enough and don't eat rice or Pasta. The problem is I get hungry very often so eat too much throughout the day. Just not at one sitting. I've lost about 45lbs since May 19th. But gained 1 lb over the last month.

Need advice.

Elaine

Are you getting tummy rumbling hungry or is it head hunger (cravings) or dehydration (empty stomach feeling)?

Are you eating solid food like lean Protein and fresh veggies?

Are you drinking lots of Water?

Are you wating 30-60 minutes to drink after a meal?

I'm struggling to get back into the groove after the holidays. Also, I can eat more that one cup of food at a time. I got a fill yesterday so I'm hoping that the two days of mushies will get me back on track. I feel like my biggest problem is that I've gotten away from the three meals a day that helped me lose the first 60lbs and I'm not drinking enough Water throughout the day.

Why not revert back to the original diet that helped you lose the first 45lbs.? Start with some chicken/tuna salad with some melba rounds for lunch and some lean fishes and chicken for dinner. Keep the carbs down and drink the water. I'm a snacker by nature so it's been hard for me but I'm trying to snack on low fat cheddar and almonds until I can get it under control.

BTW...your weightloss is fantastic. I wish we didn't have this struggle. Good luck!

      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!
