Recommended Posts

I was December 20th also. I am feeling much better. Had terrible pain in and around my largest incision. I have lost 27 pounds since I came home from hospital, but most of that is Water from all the IV. Was hungry yesterday for he first time. Usually I have to make myself have a drink

Or shake, but a couple times yesterday I was hungry. I actually had a cheese stick. It was so good!!! No problems!!!

Wow Andrew! Sounds likes you're doing great!

I was also sleeved on 12/20. I moved to mushie food over the weekend. I think I took it a little too fast and today I've gone back to mostly liquids, yogurt and mashed potatoes.

I find it hard to take all my meds during the day. I've been cutting them in half, and now it seems like double the amount (lol, it is)! I'm nervous about taking a WHOLE pill!

I'm seeing my doctor this Thursday for the first time. His office and my husband's work schedule were hard to coordinate for an appointment any sooner.

So far - so good.

Googie, what type of shakes? I haven't been given any instructions for Protein shakes - don't even know what products are available....curious to know.

Be well!

      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?

        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.
