I am 4 months post op today and I am having issues with my weight going up a few pounds and down then back up and so on and so on!! I know if I am honest I have not been making the best food choices every time but in comparrison to pre surgery I am still eating ALOT less. I am also having head issues where I want to eat all the time. Physically I cant say Im hungry but my head says different so when my stomach can hold it my head wins! Sometimes I wonder if I have stretched my stomach out already with the amount if food I eat in a day sometimes!! As of this morning I was back up those same few pounds so I have lost 47 pounds since surgery 60 total. I know that is really good and I should stop being depressed because its not more. I could really use some advice from all the expierenced sleevers out there!!

This whole thing is a journey. I have had too much icecream at a time occasionally. I can go to the beat myself up world or I can go to, OK I did that today, don't do it tomorrow & the next & next.

You probably know we can lose this weight easier in the first 8-12 months......with that in mind I do my best to stay on the straight and narrow. I am at 8 months and my sleeve truly is helping me gain some new habits that are positive. Like when I am full, stopping, even if I could eat the other part.

Good luck, keep up the good work & honesty.

      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!
