Recommended Posts

Surgery on 8/19, weight date of surgery 208, (lost 11 during 2 week diet), today's weight 196. Feeling pretty normal, focusing on H20, Protein (mostly liquid form), and incorporating mooshy foods as I can. And supplements, just switched Calcium from Sweet Indulgence (dark chocolate bar) to Bariatric Advantage (6 chews a day). I chose raspberry and lemon).

Exercise is not as vigorous as I believe I should be. Been walking, but not vigorously. I've done weights a little :)

I was kept in the hospital for 2 nights and 3 days. When I got home from the hospital I Weighed 5 lbs more then when I went in. My blood pressure was out of control and nausea was terrible. I threw up one time at the hospital and felt so much better after that, it was the scariest thing I've experienced.

Tonight I'm going out with my husband and our church friends...looking forward to getting dolled up :)

Blessings to all! Wanted to share a little...

Hey everyone. I am really feeling good Thursday will be two weeks and I go to the doc on Wednesday. I seem to be down from sw 306 and cw 295 but starting weight was 320 so I am feeling better about my decision since the gas is gone and I can take in more. I am back at work today and very happy about it, need to get away from my house. I have to figure out how to work my food for the day since my schedule is so crazy working 12-8pm. I don't want to eat that late at night but may have to in order to make sure my meals are spaced out. Has anyone set up a schedule for themselves to make sur you are eating enough?

Finally, someone who was sleeved on the same day as me! You're looking good! You can definitely see your loss. Congrats!

It's only a day difference... Most places don't do surgery on a Sunday

True. Im in the UK and alot of surgeons here work for the NHS during the week and privately at weekends. As a self pay patient I was scheduled for a Sunday.

      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!
