Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm Lindsay, 21, with two beautiful boys. I started this journey weighing 363lbs, I had surgery july 24th 2013 which would put me a little over 3 weeks out. At my two week weigh in I was down 23lbs. Its good to see the scale go down for once. Im currently on the aoft and mushy foods stage two is whay they call, it but there really isnt any difference between stage one and two. But I just want to inteoduce myself and say im glad I downloaded this app and found this page.

Thanks.

Welcome Lindsay, I had surgery 2 weeks ago, and I based my decision to have the procedure after several weeks of reading posts on this site. Lots of information and new friendships.

Congratulations on the weight loss, isn't exciting to see the scale move down for once?! I found this site just after my surgery as well and thank goodness otherwise I would have been lost. The support group where I used to live just wasn't very active, most of what you need or want to know can be found on here anyway. Just always be sure and double check with either the Doc or the Nut on info you find here to be on the safe side.

      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?
