I was doing well with my appetite til my kids warmed up thier dinner. They had seafood which I dont like (arranged menu like that on purpose). But after they began to eat my mouth started watering & hunger set in. Luckily it was nearly time for my dinner so I had some butternut sqaush Soup 2/added Protein. Just made it past 32 oz added Water. Still trying to get back to 64oz under 3oz at a time 20 min apart. Grrr. :)

I feel like I am eating to much but then when I put it into perspective I might be eating 1/8 of what I used to eat

I had 4 bites of cheesy grits, 2 bites of scramblers eggs and a half of a small gladiator smoothie from Smoothie King - I know most people say they can only keep Clear Liquids down post op but I feel like I am doing fine - I guess it's true that everyone truly handles it differently

It is definitely harder when you have to feed your kids. The smells, alone, remind you of what you can't have. But, I keep reminding myself that this was my choice and if I REALLY want a chicken nugget (lol) I can purée one next week!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
