Bet it feels weird to not be hungry. Glad you are feeling fine, and hope the peeing picks up for you! ;)

Forget the eggs they are so bland. But the ham is tasting pretty good. I'm shocked.

So' date=' did any one elses surgeon try to get them to change from RNY to the sleeve? My doctor seemed quite persistent, though said the choice was mine, and it didn't seem to bother him that I choose the RNY. He kept going on about doing a fabulous single incesion through the belly button, but seriously, I have a road-map on my stomach from 3 pregnancies, so regardless of how much weight I lose, I will never be showing my bare stomach in public. I am wondering if maybe he just wanted more practice doing the single incesion, lol.[/quote']

My surgeon did the same thing at my first appt. kept telling me I could do just fine with a sleeve instead of RNY. I listened to him but felt the RNY was still the best option. When I went for my preop appt last week I schedule surgery, he didn't seem bothered at all with what I chose. I do think you're right that they just want more practice with the sleeve. The coordinator of my program said it's like the "new" thing they're trying to get people to do. For me, it just didn't have enough proven benefits. Now surgery is Tuesday!!! Can't wait! Good luck to you!

I think they are looking for more statistics for the sleeve, so the more they do the more they know. I already had the band so my doctor said I may not be successful with the sleeve since it is also just a restrictive procedure. My prior band surgeon and my new surgeon suggested the rny. So rny it was. :)

I tried to stop my pain meds yesterday and was a bit uncomfortable. I ended up taking them last night because I couldn't sleep. I was groggy this morning, but feel much better now. I am going to try to help my friend find a dress at the mall today. It will be my first time wearing real clothes since the surgery. Hope it goes well. Going to try not to take pain meds today again.

I am doing the Premier Protein as well. It tastes the closest to chocolate milk and not a chalky aftertaste or thick. Plus' date=' it has 30 grams of Protein for each shake which is great. I have had no issues with it, and I got it from Sam's club.[/quote']

I haven't tried that but i got the lite choc muscle Milk from costco pre made. Its pretty good.

      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?

        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.
