I had my two week follow-up appointment today. I already feel back to myself (except for eating of course)! My appointment went great. The doctor commented that I have had a smooth, above-average recovery. I never had any vomitting and I have been tolerating all of the foods that I have been instructed to eat. In the past four weeks (two weeks of Optifast and two weeks post-op) I have lost 29 lbs! My clothes are already getting baggy, and my blood pressure medicine was decreased today (started feeling light-headed). I was told things could and would change this quickly but I never actually thought they would!

I am still getting used to my "new" stomach and the new way of eating. I need to master stopping one bite before getting that tight/uncomfortable feeling instead of one bite after. I was advanced from puree to soft/moist Proteins today with a little bit of vegetables.

I am extremely happy with my results and blessed that I have had such a smooth experience to date!

      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.

        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!
