I hope everyone is doing well. I broke my android tablet so I have not been on here in a while.

Things have been going well for me. I am down a total 85lbs since starting my pre-op diet in July. I have not had any dumping which I attribute to Soccermom's advice of making sure you have protien in your stomach if you are going to treat yourself. For example I had a 30gram protien shake yesterday and about 10 minutes after drinking it I treated myself to half an Oreo.

This by far has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! I will try to get on here more with my work computer and my wifes home computer because I would like to hear how everyone else is doing.

Hi pittguy! Glad to hear you are doing so well. I am 68 pounds down since the start of this journey and am feeling really good. I have ankle/knee issues which make exercise difficult. I too follow Soccermom's advice and have not had any problems with my pouch.

I am sure it is a matter of time until I am eating a whole one.... I am still in the stage where I have no hunger and no cravings. I am hoping if I treat myself in moderation I will not get back into a pattern of downing 5 Oreos with Milk when I get cravings back.

Mitzie, congrats on the 68p pounds. That is great! Ankle and knee problems are no fun and can make the journey tough at times but it is great to hear you are still having great success.

      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!
