Take smaller sips, dear. It'll relieve the pressure in your stomach. And since my sleeve I can't stand crystal light anymore! Loved it pre op. Feel free to message me :) I had my sleeve done 11-19-12, and spent all of December in the hospital with a leak. I've had MRSA, pneumonia, bronchitis, the flu, and some other random health issues since then, I've been through the ringer but I'm doing well. Tired, still, but well.

You'll be just fine :) don't hesitate to message if you need anything!

The best advice I can give is listen to your body. Your still really new post op. if you are nervous about eating and drinking, try measuring so this way you won't over so it. I'm assuming your still in liquids, it's pretty easy going while on liquids, for me the challenging part was when I needed to start on foods.

Feel free to ask any other specific or general questions you have.

      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.

      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!
