on a downward spiral



Recommended Posts

A few months back I had to have my port moved. Ever since then I can't find it in myself to get a fill.. I went once but I had a sinus infection after the fill I had them take it back out.. With my head so tight I couldn't stand the feeling of being tight all over... ( I had a terrible time at the beginning with my band). I don't know if I am scared or what... I know that in all my years I have never ate candy bars except on rare occasions now I can't make it through the day.. I have put on around 5 lbs of what I have lost, I have lost my motivation. My husband doesn't do much, he has hip problems so he won't (cant ) walk with me.. I just don't know what to do... Please don't yell at me I just need some support. I just moved to a different part of town so I don't really know anyone... and recently a job change. I guess I have great excuses... Just wish I had a buddy to walk with and go through this with...:scared2:

Please give yourself some time to get adjusted to all the changes going on in your life. You have made two huge life changes. You maybe just adjusting to your new surroundings .

Jill, stress is a killer for all of us. Pick up the phone and make the appointment for the fill. You know it will help and put you back on track. Remember all the reasons you had the surgery. You have lost weight and are on the right track. This was just a glitch. Pat yourself on the back for what you have accomplished! Now go to the phone :scared2: Good luck and keep us posted.

Don't give up. Try to bring yourself and your family closer by calling and talking to them about what is going on. Don't be afraid to walk alone. Sometimes alone time is great for thinking and planning what to do with your life. Find a Lap Band support group locally and see if they get together for talks and outings.

I know you can find the strength and many friends to help you through this time.:thumbup:

Sorry for ya. Our LapBand center has meetings and the people there make plans for doing activities together maybe you should try that. Good Luck. P.S. I have had to get Fluid taken out a few times due to medical test 5lb gain won't hurt you. I would gain 3-5 lbs in a few days and it would go away or level out in a week or so.

      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!
