Just watched your YouTube videos and they were very informative. I am in the same boat as you and am also named Brian. I started at 333 and was sleeved the end of September. I'm down about 50 lbs with minimal complications (back hurts),

I am also cold all the time where I was always hot.

I'm trying to find a good app for tracking Protein. I have tried myfitnesspal but tracking Protein isn't that easy in it.

I'm heading in for my 2 month visit this week and looking forward to the results.

As for exercise, I'm riding my bike and try to hit the treadmill but only 1-2 times per week. I definitely have definitely lost some strength in my muscles probably due to lack if protein, it's a challenge to get 80 grams of protein in a day. I'm beginning to supplement with eas rtd shakes that have 43g in them.

Best of luck.

Keep in mind with the shakes to split it up - your body will only absorb around 25 grams at a time.

      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!
