Trust me me and a lot of others felt the same way I'm 3.5 weeks out now and the first real food was pork tenderloin and up until then I questioned if they even did anything to me other than put holes. But a bite and a half of tenderloin and

I was done liquids and mushys don't do it but solids will show you.

I didn't feel the full effect until I started eating solid foods. Even now I can eat more squishy soft foods and don't feel much restriction... But when I eat solid I do. 6 months out today

I was sleeved Oct 1 and I have been on soft foods for a week. On the first day, the first thing I ate was some scrambled eggs. I took two bites and was immediately turned off. I didnt know what was going on, but now as I begin to eat more foods, I have learned that this feeling is a feeling of fullness. It wasnt until today that I actually felt that feeling of fullness. Like I just had a full meal. I had one salmon croquett, approx 2oz. and a quater cup of canned pineapple. Its going to take time for the swelling to go down and for your stomach to be able to handle the 3 to 4 oz of food later on... The sounds coming from your stomach is mostly air, making you gurgle...think of a garbage disposal. It takes a while for food to go down, you have to turn it on in order to work...

      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?
