Hey everybody my name is Jazz im from the Dallas area I'm kinda new to this blogging stuff so please bare with me!

I was very skeptical about getting on here talking about my experience so far, but from reading most of you'll post and looking

@ YouTube at so many stories It gives me some kind of hope and makes me want to share this lifelong journey that I have chosen to take

on, ok so let's see where to start... As of Jan 24 2012 when I first started contacted different surgeons in my area

My stats were

Age: 27.

Weight: 344

Height5"6

Started my Pre Op Diet on March 25 ( which my Dr. Only advised a one week clear liquid diet so on Wednesday the actual day

Of surgery I weighed before I went in that early morning and I weighed 333 (yay 11lbs down just from Proteins shakes and broth)

Okay so today I weighed myself just to see is there a difference and now I'm at 324!!! I'm think I'm starting to like this already!!

I see a lot of members posting about stalls I'm only assuming that's when u go without losing any weight over a period of time? Well

If so let me know , I'm now just now learning to try to cope with just watered down oatmeal, protein drinks (isopure and nectar) not a

fan of grits so I want even bother with those but crystal light is very tasty now to me for some reason before having WLS I may have

never drank any of that, burned out on broth already but hey I'm working on a better me for me and my kids(4) so I have to stick with it

Well good luck to everyone that's has done it and everyone thinking about doing it...YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!

      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.

      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!
