I'm now 5 months out and I couldn't be happier. I've lost 82 lbs so far and though things have slowed way down, I am still losing and most importantly - NOT GAINING! It hasn't been an easy road, but I'm feeling better and better!

I think just listening to my body has been my biggest thing. It really tells me when to stop and tells me what I don't like/need. I've had some food issues along the way. I can't really eat chicken or salad. (Previously, two of my favorites!) Beef really works for me and so does fish. I'm still working on getting all my Protein in, but overall food is finally becoming easier for me to eat. I'm trying to take all my Vitamins (I'm probably about 85% on that) and getting my fluids in. Now, I need to work on stepping up my exercise.

      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!

        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!
