Voices Of Reason/experience. I Am 12 Days Post Op.



Recommended Posts

Hello all

long time lurker first time poster.

I am now as the title says 12 Days post op and feel fabulous. I am in no pain, no incision pain, walking generally back to normal and have been so for the past 5 days.

I am really concerned/becomming obessed with seeking answers because I can drink a glass of Water no problem, I had two scrambled eggs with cottage cheese for Breakfast no problem, tube of yogure 125ml for lunch and drink in between. I think I feel like i have no restriction and am worried i will fail at weightloss because i will pig out like i did pre sleeve.

I dont want to be fat any more, i thought i would get slim with this tool but i didnt think after reading everyone elses journey that it would feel like normal just less hungry.

I have checked with my surgeon and he said everyone heals different and wait till i am on solid or mushy foods but stick with the plan.

I am on pureed at the moment.

can i actually fail? do people not loose weight. I will be totally devosated - i just cant cope thinking its not going to work.

My dietician asked for a 3 day food diary but said it was unusual that I could easily eat two eggs without discomfort or nausia and it scared me. Please dont scare me I am very anxious at the moment.

      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!
