Had surgery on April 10th wednesday home by April 12th friday. sore of course when i got home but no bowel movement for ten days turns into small bowel obstruction. back in hospital on april 17th wednesday a week later and surgery again. woke up with a nasogastric tube a g tube with drainage bag. they capped off naso tube on sunday until then only ice chips which didn't start until friday. now after the first surgery was tired and a little weak but now when i get a little tired or short of breath i can sit down for a few minutes and i am ready to go again it is the weakness that is worst than before. right now may 6 I still have the g tube which has been great for taking Meal Replacements and Water into because the smell of the Meal Replacement causes my stomach to turn. and i can crush all my vit and other meds and put them in my tube. only foods that i have been able to eat since surgery is small curd cottage cheese' date=' greek yogurt, tuna, Jello and pickles. i tried to eat grilled chicken and veg beef Soup after each bite i felt it stop in my throat and i didn't feel relief until i regurgitated it. I have no appetite so guess it is just better for me to continue meal replacements and Protein Powder and drink my water. Was told that the g tube would be in for 6 weeks. don't really mind it because i can push the meal replacement mixed only with water through my tube. If i didn't have it i would have mixed the meal replacement with skim chocolate milk like i did pre surgery.[/quote']

Oh man you've been through alot.....it sounds like you have a positive attitude which is great . Ill keep u in my prayers for a speedy recovery

Just tried on my size 22 Levis that I LOVE! they were too loose! I almost died! The butt and legs are so baggy, I can't even wear them. What a great feeling. I have them in size 20, 18, and 16 too. I'll have to dig them all out soon! By the time it gets cold enough for jeans again, I hope they are all too big. I'm loving this today!

Yay!! My pants aren't big enough yet for a new size, but they look a little bit like a soggy diaper around my butt! Super loose on the legs, too! I wish I had a collection of sizes like you. I see a lot of leggings and tunics in my near future!

Wish I would've done measurements beforehand. My legs are definately smaller. Before my body was hard, like hard fat. Now everything is soft and wobbly. Does that make sense?? Anyway a change.

      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!
