Just Joined - 2 weeks post-op



Recommended Posts

Hi. I just joined this site and have enjoyed reading all of the stories and being encouraged by knowing that I am not alone. I had my surgery August 8, 2013 and am 2 weeks post-op. I am starting soft foods and am ready to be done with the liquid diet. I have a fear that I will be the patient that doesn't lose a lot of weight.....but so far I am down 23 lbs since August 1, 2013.

That's awesome stuff. 23 lbs in 2 weeks is amazing! I was sleeved on August 5th, and I'm down 20. Welcome to the forum!

Don't worry about comparing yourself to others or worry you won't lose. Your body is already showing you, that you can lose.

Enjoy your journey and work on all the "head" stuff. Congrats on your sleeve and 23 lbs!

      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!
