Recommended Posts

Hiya all,

sorry i havent been around for a while, been really busy, but i thought i would let you know how things are going for me,

i am just over 7weeks out now, and its been really great, had a stall for a couple of weeks which was frustrating but it seems to be a normal thing that happens about that time, i went to see my surgeon yesterday for my first check up and she was really pleased with me, and after i spoke to her i was really pleased too, i have lost a grand total of 29 pounds (2.1 stones) Yippee!!!! so pleased with myself, for a while i thought i was not going to lose anything but i am on the right track, i have gone down from a size 34 uk sizes, to a 22,

i am amazed and really looking forward to the future. anyway i hope that you are all having the same kind of success as me but if things are difficult right now please Don't give up ok, take it day by day and look after yourselves

Fantastic V! I am at 8 weeks and around the same place as you, just went in today for my 8 week dr. and nut visit, they were both happy. I had a bunch of blood tests done, and they look fantastic too. I just fit into some US sized 16 pants (from a 20) Getting the hang of the sleeve, and loving it. Congrats on your successful first 7 weeks!

      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.

      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!
