Slimming - Try to keep it down or let it come back up?



Recommended Posts

In reference to losing some cc's...my doc said that it was normal to lose some saline occasionally inbetween fills..NOT a lot...but like .25-.5 can happen....this had no reference to vomiting or PB-ing....

As far as sliming and being stuck..it's happened to me on ly a few times....Bread is a NO-NO for at least 4 months post op because it expands in your stomach and that can hurt the band...nevermind the fact that it's dry as hell and THAT hurts...

I hate bringing anything up...and even with sliming nothing has come up. I've felt like it might, but it never has....i'm a believer that if it's going to come up, it will. So be it...but if it's not and i just have to wait for it to pass...it sucks but that's what you have to do...

***you should be on liquids for the rest of the day after a fill....AND if you get anything stuck..let yourself heal. The last time something got stuck (because i started rushing and took too big of a bite AND had one bite too many), i was on liquids the rest of the day and mushies for 2 days after....i could tell i was swollen and wanted to be really careful. SF popsicles and Italian Ice were lifesavers!

I dont have that much control over my body, lol. Either I'm going to slime painfully and it goes away or I'm going to pb and I cant stop that happening either. I dont have the choice to "let it come up". It either will or wont.

But I have gotten better at it, I think I instinctively fought it early on and i have never in my life made myself vomit to "feel better" and probably couldnt do it even if I tried. But I can relax and let a pb happen and it happens more quickly with less resistance these days.

Oh golly, that sounds suspiciously disordered doesnt it? Only another bandster would understand.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
