Had my 3 week post op!!



Recommended Posts

I can not believe it has been 3 weeks since surgery!! I am down 25lbs since day of surgery and feeling wonderful.. I get to start back on Salads in 11 days "1 month mark" I started my chopped meats last week and have been progressing from there. Everything is feeling wonderful, and from what I gather it only gets better from here. I can't believe I am actually loosing the weight.. It feels AMAZING!! I get to start back at the gym with light weights "5lbs max" so that will start the toning process. It's been a rough first 3 weeks, but not anymore.. I have decided my body is going to do whatever it wants to do, it's up to me to make sure I get the right foods in. I am so so thankful for Dr. Chung and his staff.. They have been amazing people.. Just wanted to share my update..

Congrats!! So happy for you! I will be at 3 weeks this coming Thursday and am struggling with what foods to eat. Everything just makes me disgusting because I have NO appetite. Any suggestions for me?? Congrats again!

I just left you a post on your topic.. Hope it helps some.. Always remember follow what your doctor says, and try to push the mushies if that's what you are on. Don't get down if you are only able to get in a bite or 2 before you are finished "our tummies are tiny now" Drink plenty of liquid and always try to get Protein in first!! I am 3 weeks out and I am down 25lbs since surgery. Which the doctor said is amazing at this stage!! Find something that will settle your stomach first, and then try to get in a couple of bites as you go. It takes me a good 30-45 minutes to take in 3-4 maybe 5 bites depending on what time of day it is. Don't stress yourself.. Your body will adjust to the new changes eventually.. It's up to you to make sure you are getting in the right nutrients and food your body needs to recover/loose weight.. Best of Luck!!

      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.
