Recommended Posts

I think i went back to work way too early.

originally took 5 weeks off and went back after 2 weeks.

i am freezing pretty much all the time. hands and feet especially.

and i am exhausted. really tired especially after work.

i am drinking plenty of Water and getting my Protein in.

anyone else going through this?

all in all i've lost 55lbs including the 20lbs i lost preo-op so i know i've lost a few layers

I'm 6 months out and am cold all the time (I used to be hot all the time), As for tired. I still have tired days sometimes. It's a hugh change on our bodies, it takes a toll. But other days I feel awesome. Just seem to tire easily sometimes still...

Completely normal. And with time it will get back to your norma normal. Except the cold part.. It's a major complaint for a lot of us and sounds like it will probably last forever.. I'd rather be cold than fat so no biggy for me ;)

I take monthly B12 shots. It helps me when I feel a lack of energy. And yes, I'm always cold, unless I'm in the middle of a hot flash! Ugghh.

I am four weeks out and I am finding that I am cold most of the time as well. I will take that any day though over the constantly being hot and drippy with sweat!

2.5 months. Freezing cold. Can't wait for summer where this will be an asset. I've always run hot my whole life but since immediately after sleeve, cold cold cold. Metabolism must be shutting down to conserve energy. Stupid tricky body...

      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!
