I dont flippin get it



Recommended Posts

I am 6 weeks postop and Ive had one fill.I have NO restriction what so ever and am getting another fill tomorrow. Ive been so good excercising and eating only 1200 calories. Well today i got chinese chicken and broccoli and measured out about a cup. Well then i had another cup and nothing! Didnt feel full or anything! I could have eaten more. I dont get it. I was waiting for that full feeling but nothing. Is this normal and besides eating all those calories could I have done harm?

On this web site they call it bandster hell! You are doing great in 6 weeks you have lost alot of weight.

I am 6 months out and only lost 33. My doctor told me 50 pounds is the normal for the 1st year.

Relax........you will get there.

I agree, in our lap-band®® support group we have Bandsters that are frustrated with the slowness they are losing the weight, but some are just two months out or less. It will take time and they will lose the weight.

Hang in there, you just need another fill or maybe more. I was lucky to get restriction early, but you will get there too - then you won't be able to eat so much and the weight will come off.

      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!
