I went from 229 day of surgery to 235 after surgery and all I had was Water, and peppermint tea and I had a lot of diarreah. I take in LESS than 200 calories a day and I am only down to 222 and I am 12 days out.

Everyone needs to realize they cannot compare their body to another another persons body. You may very well have had a lot more swelling. You may have had more scar tissue prior to surgery. I can weight myself right now, and in an hour and after I bm and and each weight be different. It's a waste of emotion getting worked up over it right now, and comparing yourself to others is not healthy because eventually it all comes around and evens out. You may have more gas, more bloating, more water retention, more swelling. The comparison does you and your sister no good because it's really not a competition. It's about letting your sleeve heal.

      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!
