One week post op.



Recommended Posts

Can't believe it's already been 7 days. I've been back to work since day 5. I feel real good except the obvious pain from incisions and where my port had to be dug out. I've lost 29 lbs since February 4th and 14 since surgery day on the 11th. Two more weeks of liquid only and then onto my running program. Currently weigh 259lbs at 6'1.

I was sleeved on the 11th as well...can I ask, how much liquids are you allowed to eat for the next 2 weeks. I'm limited to 1oz per hour and no Vitamins until I get back to food...is this similar to you?

I am to drink 64 oz of Water a day. 60-80 grams of Protein in shakes. One between Breakfast and lunch and one between lunch and dinner. As for meals. I have cream of wheat for Breakfast. About an ounce or two. Then Soup the rest of the day. Very small. I am on a lot of Vitamins. All chewable from my post op kit bariatric source.

      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!
