Hey all,

Got the band on 3/9, came home feeling great. No pain, sleeping well. Now----I am cold, I had a headache last week that almost took me out. It started during the night and continued to build until I was ready to kill for relief(might have been allergy). Today I woke up as tired as I was when I feel asleep on the sofa last night. My blood pressure is lower that usual, I am normally high and on meds. Guess these might need to be adjusted but my PCP won't do that until further testing in a couple of weeks. I have lost about 32 lbs. since the first of the year, about 10 in the last 3 weeks. Getting in the Protein , Water and Vitamins, not hungry but frequently want to "chew". I have the need for texture, I want to feel things in my mouth so I know that I have eaten.(strange) I don't want things like potatoes near my mouth, normally I love these. Made fish for lunch and couldn't even try to eat it. I will not be able to live on Chicken!! However, chicken is the only thing I am able to eat and enjoy. Hard boiled eggs are ok but I almost hurl if I think of scrambled. I'm good with yogurt, shakes and smoothies but my info is that we need to get something other than liquids. Help me people!

Okay so you are completely back on solids now? what about steamed veggies. If you are on mushy foods try a creamy Soup like broccoli cheese soup. That's pretty good and will help fill you up. what about pork tenderloin or something like that? or even better yet make a turkey breast in the crock pot until it's falling apart. that's really good and really good for 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!
