Yesterday was my first post op doctor appt. I was so surprised when I stepped on the scale. 21 pounds in 10 days! What an amazing feeling. That makes me even more motivated! My doctor said I am ahead of schedule and everything looks good. Got my steri strips removed and I'm finally starting to feel better.... I don't want to get on a scale again until my next appt in 3 weeks. Good luck to my other sleevers!

That's great news :) also I hope I won't be attached to my scale. I only weigh myself once a week but notice when I'm dieting, I weigh myself like daily maybe even twice a day :/ ( bad habit ) !

Good luck and hope your recovery continues to be lovely :)

I am 8 days post op and had my clinic visit this morning. I am down 16 pounds since surgery. I was very proud of myself for being so compliant with the diet (and that is not typical for me to be compliant!) but come to find out only now am I to add back the Bari shakes with almond milk. I have been making those since about 3 days post op. I confessed to my slice of cantaloupe made into a smoothie and they were not real impressed with that. Oh well, my recovery is going strong and for another week I get to have what I have had for most of this week. Minus the cantaloupe smoothie! It is OK to add strained, cream Soup. No regrets about the surgery. In fact, I go long stretches where I forget I had it and think I am still waiting for 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.

      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.

        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!
