Hi All, This is the first time I have been able to post since my surgery last Tuesday, August 6th. I am doing fine but very tender and sore. They found a hiatal hernia and I had to have that repaired as well so that is creating some of the pain that I am having as well. My appetite has been pretty much non-existent but I am making myself drink and try to eat something. I am down 9 pounds since surgery but that is, I am sure, to be expected that first week when we are still recuperating from the surgery. I am ready to begin having creamed Soups, eggs, cooked Beans and yogurt next week, Tuesday I believe but who's counting. :) Any other August 6ers chiming in yet???

I too was sleeved August 6th, today was the first day I felt normal, but not hungry at all! I have to force myself to eat, my third day my doc had me on pudding, it made me gag. I am trying so hard to get my Protein Shakes in, but hard I get cramps. I started Gas X it is amazing so far, hoping tomorrow I can eat a bit more. Good luck to you!

I was sleeved on the 6th too. Feeling better day by day. I just get a weird pain in the middle of my back. It's intense and then goes away. That's worrying me a bit.

I'm on the same boat! I just want to chew on something! I'd actually been having head cravings for one of my friends homemade sourdough breads (she uses her grandmothers starter) So fantastically yummy!! Guess what. She knew I was in the hospital but not why. So she brought over a loaf in a feel better basket, it was still warm! Such agony!!

My husband cut out his half and stuck the other half on the freezer for later :-/

      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?
