Today Is 4 Months Post Op



Recommended Posts

Today marks 4 months for me with a weight loss of 66lbs and a total of 28 1/2 inches off my body so far. I've went from a snug 24 to an 18. Although my weight loss has slowed I'm still grateful for every pound I've lost. Yesterday was a non weight goal I met also I was able to get on my husband Harley with him and ride without the issues of being smushed against him and my butt hurting after only a short ride

LOVE hearing success stories.

The only advice is to follow Protein first and stick to 1 cup or less of food. Don't cheat yourself by eating the same foods that got us in this shape to begin with. I read a lot of I eat what I use to just smaller portions that to me is cheating yourself out of working with your band learn to eat healthier and of course exercise as much as you can. I've only had one fill and have to wait until half way through October for my second. Don't ever give up and take it one day at a time

2nd day post op. Not feeling to well. No real pain. Just having a lot of gas. Taking gas-x strips. Any other suggestions? Not much appetite. Trying to eat broth' date=' Protein in juice, Jello.[/quote']

Walk as much as possible, even if its just around the house. It helps with the gas.

Walk that is all that helped me. Gas x didn't do anything

      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!
