I had my sleeve on June 11th. Are you taking 1/2 hour to eat your meals? I haven't had any issues at all with food. I was warned to eat very slow.

I'm eating slow, but maybe not slow enough, thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely start being more aware and eat slower. Love your bars that show weight loss! How do you do that???

Remember, no liquids 30 min before, 30 min during and 30 min after a meal. Also remember to stop eating after 10 min, take a 10 min break and then resume eating during your 30 min meal time. Chew till everything liquifies in your mouth.

Maybe the food is too salt? Or processed. Your body is healing and incredibly sensitive. It could be sensitive to the hormones and preservatives in those foods. Could you try less processed foods? Or maybe go back on a modified puréed and solid food diet. At least with the puréed you get something in ya! Just my thoughts.

You have 10-20 oz of liquid listed each day? Please tell me you are getting more than that in a day :)

I am 7 weeks out. My suggestion is to go back to soft foods or just a Protein Shake diet for a bit. No hotdogs or ham. Try eggs, fish, refried Beans -- high Protein but soft.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
