Help...my husband doesn't understand.



Recommended Posts

Im on my second fill and have no problem with chicken. I just make sure I take little bites and chew very very well. I also make sure I take my time eating anything. I hate the thought of vomitting especially in public. So remember take your time and chew well.

The more fills you have, the more restriction you are going to get. This will result in some foods being crossed off the list, or prepared in a very special way to be consumed by a banded person. Sometimes all of the chewing in the world will not result in a good experience with certain foods. Each time you get a fill to get to that sweet spot, you will have to gingerly test all food groups.

Yes, I do know a lot of it is me. My version of slow may not be what is truly required. However, I know that some people really have issues with certain meats. Just as a forewarning to you, I had no problem with chicken or pork until my third fill.

God forbid!! No chicken:crying: I don't eat pork and after hearing so many horror stories about beef I don't eat that either. Oh well!! one food at a time.

Well I don't eat any type of fish and am not brave enough to try steak or beef. I've basically eaten only chicken since early February and have virtually no issues with it (knock on wood). I don't know what I would do without chicken to be honest. If it does get too difficult after my 3rd fill or so, I would likely get unfilled to keep eating it. I honestly think I may be at my sweet spot with only one fill. I have decent restriction and am (generally) not hungry. Best of luck all!

Hi, I'm new to this board. I've been reading a lot of threads and this one really caught my eye.

I was banded in Jan. and have had one fill. I've tryed most foods and don't seem to have much of a problem with meats although I like fish better. My problem seems to be with starches such as Pasta and bread. Bread fills me to fast and I don't much care for the feeling. Pasta is something I loved BS and now it drives me crazy because I can't seem to chew it enough. It slides down before you're ready to swallow.

As for the husband, I guess I'm lucky. He's been very supportive since I told him I was even considering doing it.

Does your husband have a problem with your surgery or just the amount of food your able to eat?

      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!
