Hi everyone!! Today is my 10 day post sleeve and I'm feeling great!!! I think the best thing I did was getting back to work after 8 days, each day I wake up with more and more energy and I feel great!! I am so blessed to have been able to have this experience and with no complications. I was so scared of complications, but so far this experience has been amazing.

However, I can't wait till next Thursday to go on the messy diet!!! It's not that I'm hungry I think it's a mental thing that I want to chew something instead of drink. But that will soon end!!

NO REGRETS!!! Loving life!!!

Congratulations on your recovery and return to work!! :D

It is amazing how quickly you get back to feeling "normal" isn't it? At least for those of us who were lucky enough to get through the surgery without any complications! I am one month out and it is hard for me to believe it has only been a month!

Congrats!!! I am on the same boat as you. I am 10 days out and just feel like I want to chew something. I heard not to chew gum because they chewing actually starts the digestion process in the stomach and builds up acid, therefore getting the more hungry feeling and growling sensation which I already have so. Just sticking it out and looking towards the future. I just know that this is the best thing I could have done for myself and I honeslty feel amazing. Best of luck to you, we are finally on the losers bench and it feels goooood!

      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!
