Don't use mouth wash or breath strips while on antibiotics. I got thrush & I think that is why I got it.

Try coconut Water during your 1st week of Clear Liquids (post-op) -- good electrolytes and tastes refreshing (much better than Gatorade).

Those sound like excellent tips. Thanks!

Any tips for how to beat this sugar withdrawal headache?

She is out of surgery. Dr. Overby said all went well and surgery was actually shorter than he expected. Hope to see her soon. Will update when I do.

Sorry. It should be gone by the 4th day (or perhaps during the 4th day). I had a constant headache for 3 days including a Migraine the 1st night. Felt better the 4th day & have only had 1 headache since about 3 days after surgery.

I had my Sleeve done this Monday Aug 12th. I was in a little pain after and better the next day. Today I am back home and feeling great. I have been sipping Water and Evolve Protein Shakes. So excited to begin this journey.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
