Now that you are 4 weeks out, do you feel normal? Do you have any regrets of your different eating habits?

Tomorrow is my first week. Everyday is getting better, but it saddens me, when I cannot drink Water as I used to, I hope that with time this changes.

I still get sad at times and I even cry because I miss that feeling food used to give me. At 4 weeks I think I am still fairly new and getting used to it and I am learning to find other things to make me feel good instead of eating.

I am a total chugger when it come to Water and I find that I can actually drink bigger sips now then I did a couple weeks ago!

When I look in the mirror I don't see the weight. Loss but I do feel it in my clothes!

My before weight was 230 and I am at 194! I'm 5'4

My shoulders and face are definitely noticeable or at least that's what people are telling 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.

        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!
