Now I am wondering if I need a fill...



Recommended Posts

How much can you eat? I posted on Wednesday saying that I didn't think I needed a fill. Went to my dr on Thursday and he agreed, but said that in a week or so he thinks I will change my mind. Since then I have been pretty hungry, but now sure how to gage if I am eating enough or too much. I was banded on 9/16.

For dinner, I ate at Cheddars and had the lunch portion of the salmon which was a small piece. I ate half of the fish, most of my green Beans, and half of the mashed potatoes. I just got home and ate a cookie. Is half of a lunch portion a normal amount to eat? I am stuffed right now and wish I had not eaten the cookie :confused: .

For lunch I had some turkey lunch meat, a few whole wheat crackers, and a cheese stick. I was hungry about an hour later and ate a banana.

Some ppl might not agree, but it sounds like you are eating normal amounts. Are you still losing wt? If you are happy with your wt loss I wouldn't get a fill yet.

Best wishes,

Mimi

The problem is being hungry an hour later. Maybe even a small fill would help so you don't get hungry so soon after you eat.

i agree. just last week i was debating wether or not i needed a fill. I Just didnt feel out of control in my eating and there were many times had to stop and slow down. Soo I began to question well how much is to much? but yesterday i ate more then today hmm.

True you'll have different eating days but i think the biggest tell tells if your eating or getting hungry before u hit the 4 hr mark. 1 hr later if ur legitamtly hungry after feeling "full" then a smidgen fill can make the world of difference.

I actualy got a .1 fill last week when i felt it wasnt really neccesery but it actualy delayed my eating in the am.

slow and steady wins this race it seems!

no need to get stuck episodes etc.. if u feel like your getting hunry and you'll know what "eating more" is for you.. then get a fill if not feel it out..

gl..

funny thing is im the one usualy askign the questions..

I definately need a fill. I was a bottomless pit yesterday, never getting full. I had made Cookies to take to church and then forgot to take them and I had several. I am going to call the dr today!

      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!
