Hey guys! Good luck to everyone going in this week! I'm sorry I didn't do a round up last night. I was with my family and didn't get home till late and today is my first day back to work since surgery so I had to get to bed. I will do my best to get a round up in this evening! :) have a good week!

I am 11 days out from surgery. I have followed all directions from my doctor, and I am getting nervous because I have stayed at the same weight all weekend. I have always feared that this would fail for me just like all other diets. I am afraid to add soft foods today for fear of gaining weight. I sure hope that I can get past this feeling, because today is my postop appointment and I was supposed to add food this afternoon. :(

You should read the post op forum "weight stall" some people actually start losing when they add calories because your body no longer thinks you're starving it. You will do good as long as you stay around 1000 calories and get some walking in..... YOU CAN DO THIS!

Don't worry about day to day weight. I got really obsessive with the scale for the first two weeks. My Dr. told me to weigh no more than twice a week since everyone fluctuates daily. Best advice I ever got. I'm much happier now that I relaxed a little.

Thanks for the encouragement! I haven't walked as much as I should yet, so maybe that is part of it. I also need to move the scale or force myself not to get on it everyday. It's just so hard when you hear that others are losing so much more than you are since surgery. Thanks again.

Great idea! I hope that I can adjust to not jumping on the scale everyday. I think it is a bad habit I got into to make sure I wasn't gaining during the time before surgery.

OMG' date=' surgery (band to bypass) is in 3 days!! I'm starting to freak out. This is normal, right?? I'm so excited and trying not to let my nerves get the best of me and doubt my decision. It has helped so much reading your stories so far and seeing that you've made it through it ok! Prayers appreciated![/quote']

I had my conversion from band to RNY last week. I felt the same way as you beforehand. It is normal. You will do great!! I haven't weighed yet as I told myself I would weigh the first time one week after and then only twice per week going from there. I will not obsess over the scale this time or make myself crazy. Im just going to follow the rules and be confident it will come off.

Good Luck and know I will keep you un ny prayers!

      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!
