My "Full Signal"



Recommended Posts

I get hiccups! That usually reminds me that I should have stopped eating one or two bites early. It's kinda nice because it has helped me learn when to put the fork down.

Any Idea on how to stop/ avoid or control the gurgles? My daughter laughs at me all the time! Embarrassing when eating out with adults though...

You can look at this from wikipedia:

Borborygmus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There really is no way to stop it... it's just normal digestive noises. Realizing we seem to get it much more often since being banded I think it may have to do with not chewing as much as we probably should before swallowing thus letting larger pieces of food enter the digestive system. Hope this helps. :unsure:

My warning or signal I have eaten to much or too fast is sneezing.

My warning sign is when my chest gets tight...so strange! I always get the hiccups after I PB though, so it's interesting to see so many other ppl get them too!

I get the hiccups, too. The gurgling comes within minutes of pushing away from the table. Both of these are much more pronounced the closer I get to my sweet spot. I think I'm almost there but am waiting for a few more weeks to schedule a fill as I don't want to be too restricted.

      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!
