Hard start, but doing better...



Recommended Posts

Had the sleeve 2yrs ago, I lost 65lbs which of course wasn't enough. Went for a revision to bypass Nov 8, 2012... 4 days later was rushed in ambulance for another emergency surgery due to an obstruction, so my Dr redid whole surgery again on Nov 13th.... then a week later I got pneumonia ... so yea its been a traumatic experience but all things happen for a reason. It definitely showed me how i really took my health for granted ... im still learning my body, how I have to eat & drink slow. What foods I can eat. Ill be 5 wks out tomorrow from my second surgery ... any tips on just how to live and eat during this time?? Im still real sore, mainly by left incision .... also, how do i put a pic up?

      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!
