Just started my journey!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 6/12/2013 and am SO ready for this journey! So far, 3 days on Clear Liquids hasn't seemed like much to manage since I am still recuperating from the surgery. I can't wait for tomorrow to be able to start the Protein Shakes which I really like, especially the Celebrate brand.

Me too! I was sleeved on 6-11. I feel great! I am able to get in my liquids and Protein with no problem. Great job on liking the Protein Drinks, most I've tried are gross. Where do you get the Celebrate ones?

Hi Megansmommy123! My doctor's office carries the Celebrate and I also got samples from the hospital. They don't make me feel bloated or gassy! I just mixed with 8oz Water and they satisfied me. Also my local nutrition store carries a brand called "NOW Sports" and I've had the caramel toffee and the Cookies and creme with 24g of Protein - YUMMY!!!!

Good luck to both you! I have my nurse's appointment on Wednesday. I am looking forward to getting sleeved, hopefully by the fall.

I have 2 of my 3 required nutrition classes behind me and my psych eval so far. I am anxious and nervous all at the same time. I would like any pre surgery advice and after surgery sharing that you guys can give me. Thanks!

      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!
