I waited probably 6 months and had a bit of wine. I don't drink much anymore though. It hits me too hard after the weight loss. But I will have a drink if I'm out. I just avoid beer or fizzy things.

Its pretty early on in my opinion but....it's just my opinion. ;)

I agree that it is very early on. And I need to be mindful of eating and drinking. But I am trying to put into perspective the old me would have drank and eaten myself into oblivion this week with my husband having a heart attack and my dad being in the hospital and being as they are both going to be here tomorrow I am debating the 1/2 glass. Guess I will see how I feel about it tomorrow. But nice to know I made a chocolate chocolate chip cake from scratch today ( my favorite), 4 dozen Cookies, 3lbs of baked ziti, multiple dips and put candy out in all the holiday dishes and didn't so much as have 1 m&m.... Pretty sweet victory!!

I have to agree with Floridays, 10 days post-op is a little too soon.

Congratulations on not touching all the goodies you're making!

You're at a critical time right now, stomach is still healing from surgery. They'll be plenty of Christmas to Celebrate in the future with Portion Control. Take care of you now.

      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!
