I could chug a lug up until I got good restriction, now if I do it it causes a PB type thing.

I think you sip right after surgey b/c you are swollen and stuff, but now I have 2 fills, a decent amount of restriction, and I gag if I try to chug most drinks, but I can chug Water like you couldn't imagine. I've never had any problems drinking alot of water at a time.

I sipped in the beginning, just because I couldn't take any gulps. Now I drink as normal.

I usually can gulp down Water, however on occasion if I drink too fast I'll get all slimy. I guess my stomach pouch when overfilled with water thinks I have something stuck.

I generally don't have any problem with guzzling pretty fast, either. There were only a few short periods of high restriction where I had to sip (other than right after surgery).

      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!
