I live in Chi-Town also and my surgery was done by Dr.Cahill also, I’m at 60lbs and I’m hoping my weightloss continues, it’s slowed down quite a bit! Wish I would have done a little more research on WL drs. I would have chosen a different one!

One get on board with creating boundaries. 2- get your own Snacks. Protein Bars or whatever works better. 3- .air fryer? 4 stick notes on the frig or mirror to remind you that you are the victor here in this battle. 5 prayer or meditation to reduce the stress, or whatever gives you peace besides food. 6 see if one of the kids will help you, kids do make great mentors if they understand what you need. 7 stay on here for support or find a group - gym - another person from the surgery center or Drs office. Praying you get your mindset and strength back to get back on track. This is your health and your family needs a healthy mommy. ❣️ Keep us posted.

So I had my surgery 6/11/12 and this ain't working! I no longer dump on anything! I can eat more than I'm supposed to. And I've only lost 60 lbs. Started at 338 day of surgery 321 but was 336 after surgery I'm at 278 now. Its so freaking hard because I no longer have support from my husband who demands junk food fried food pop and fast food. I talked to my Dr and nut and they said don't eat it....if it was that easy I wouldn't have needed the surgery to begin with. I walk about a mile a day but that's the extent of exercise. I have 3 levels in my house and 4 kids so I'm constantly up and down stairs. Oh and the kicker I now suffer from insomnia so I only sleep 2-3 hours a night. Sorry for the rant I'm just so frustrated #stillfat

Maybe look into some therapy to see why you're having a hard time making better food choices. The surgery is a tool, not a miracle cure. You've made great progress, and you can get back on track and make more.

      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.

      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!
