1st time blog with 2mo postop



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone :)

New at this, but feel like I need to communicate with others that share similar lifestyles.

As of tomorrow it will be 2 months since my sleeve. My start weight was 278lbs :( I was miserable!

I lost around 15lbs preop and stopped smoking as well. I'm not sure if my weight lose is on track or

not, because I have not seen my doctor since 4 weeks postoperative. I'm now at 232 and feel GREAT!

However I find that I can eat more than I should be able to. It's scares me cause I get hungry alot and stoped drinking the protain shakes I'm going to See my doctor this week and I'm afraid to because I think I'm failing. :(

Now you sound like me...I'm the only one who gets to play the failing card!! LOL

You'll hear from all the experts that you are OK..thank God we have a great bunch here cause if not for them I'd be face first in a tub of BBQ 2 weeks ago!! I'm being educated by the awesome folks here on how to eat..I'm so nutrition stupid it ain't funny...but they are all helping me ...I eat 5 bites of whatever I'm eating and I stop I have the fear of hurling so I don't push it if I'm still feeling hungry I have Popsicles ;)

Let us know what the doc says...congrats on the smoking!!!

Will be thinking of you!

      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!
