Hello all. I was sleeved December 19th. I've lost 65 lbs and have maintained it since April. I'm getting pretty off track in terms of eating. Need to stay on this site to keep motivated. I still need to have my hernia repaired but might not do that this year.

Maybe do your preop diet to get things moving. Drink more liquids and get back to working out. You can do it! :) remember the sleeve will work if you work it :)

Ok I'm done being cheesy haha

When I was doing my pre-op diet, I wrote something down in my journal that I was keeping on my weight loss journey. It said, "NOTE TO SELF: If you get off track at some point after this surgery, remember how well the pre-op diet worked and DO IT!" The pre-op diet was not a lot of fun, but it did effectively clear my system of sugar and carbs. Once that happened it was much easier to stay on track with the plan. I think now that you are sleeved, it will not be nearly as hard as doing it pre-op but it will help you wash any carbs and sugar from your system that are causing you to crave more and go off track. Then commit yourself to eating good Protein, good carbs like veggies and stay away from the bad stuff. Track your eating in a food diary. It will keep you honest! Good luck!

      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!
