Who else was Dec 3?!



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery this past Monday. I am at home recovering with two very little children (7mo and 2yrs). I am working really hard and am getting all my Water and Protein in. So far, my only side effects are pain still in the big incision, nausea (gone now) and bad Constipation. It is a wonderful feeling though to not be hungry all the time anymore!!!! How about you guys?! Successes?? Setbacks?? Just wanted to see how everyone else was doing with their new sleeve. :)

I too was sleeved on Dec 3rd. Feeling great, still tire easily, but gets better every day. How are you doing? I'm in the mushy food stage and AMAZED at how little food makes me full. Best thing ever - no more diabetes meds and HBP meds down to 1/2 a pill per day!! Looking forward to this journey, feels like an adventure.

Hi! I was sleeved on Dec. 3rd. I go for my two week follow up tomorrow. Anxious to see what foods they will allow me to start. So tired of the liquid diet! I cheated and had mashed potatoes and gravy yesterday! Its been hard to get the Protein in...trying to get fluids in continually...so ready for some baked fish or MEAT!!! I know I won't be able to eat much, but a bite every hour...oh yeah! I have lost 16 pounds since the surgery, in two weeks. I lost 15 on the pre op diet (two weeks). (and I lost 16 prior to that-a little over six weeks) So I have a total loss of 47 pounds since Oct. 13th. I had my first non weight loss ta da moment yesterday! Realized that I had room between me and the steering wheel!, almost gotta move the seat up! AND between my keys and my cell phone, my pants almost fell down! :D

Hi I'm also a Dec 3 sleever. I went for my post op today. Lost 16 lbs. I actually felt disappointed--I guess I'm unrealistic. Maybe if I walked more like I was supposed to. The doctor said it was good. Now I got to pureed foods for a week and then regular. I'm a little scared but anxious to get beyond just shakes and Clear Liquids.< /p>

      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!
