After letting myself slide for the past month and not logging my food intake I have gained weight. I know I'm still preop and still below where I started but I never thought that the logging would be such a valuable tool.

So as of today I'm logging everything I put in my mouth. Hopefully by having this set back now will help me realize that I need to log for me and not anyone else. No one is going to do it for me I have to do yr myself.

Sorry, my rant is over.

Next to the surgery itself, food logs are the single most powerful tool you can have. I've been logging for two years and have no intention of giving it up - ever.

I feel off the food log wagon last month when was sick. I just did not care about logging, and it has been so tough to get back in to it.

I'm just worried that since I'm preop that the insurance company is going to come back and say no due to the fact that I've gained this month. I sure hope not.

Logging is very important and so much easier these days with smart phones and great apps..I remember having to go thru books and write everything down lol

As far as your insurance I guess that depends on their guidelines, my program was 6 months and I was required to lose 10% which was 30lbs I only manage to do 23 but I think they go by the review from the doctor, NUT and Psych which if you get greens from them than they know you have been working the program whether the scale shows it or not....good luck!

I've been logging my food for over two months. In the beginnings of my journey I found food logging boring but because I was so blind and lazy to see what a valuable tool it is.

I have been successful and accountable since I started logging my food. I have no intention to ever giving up on it.

You can do it! Give yourself some credit.

      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?
