I was sleeved on Thursday and am at my parents house for the Saints game. It's also my brothers birthday. This means king cake, cookie cake, fried chicken, hot dogs, and every dip imaginable. I could use some words of encouragement because I think this will be a rough day!

You can do it. Lots of water!

Be strong - do not choose to put something in your mouth that you're going to regret later.

Have a shake before hand - that should keep you satisfied for a while. If you feel tempted, remove yourself from the situation. I was sleeved on 11/14 and had Thanksgiving to deal with - I dealt with it by just not going to Thanksgiving dinner.

Best of luck to you!

I brought some Soup. My doctor does not want me to have yogurt until days 10-14. I'm currently drinking crystal light trying to keep my mind off the food.

Good for you.

Be mindful of food pushers, too! :-) "Oh it won't hurt you to have on of these will it?" "Just try a bit of this."

You'll do great - eat your Soup an enjoy time with our family. That's what it's about...TIME...not the food that's being served.

It will be easier than you think. Bring yourself some frozen yogurt. You can do it!

I find that hot teas are nice too... There are so many good flavors out right now because if the season I just bought pumpkin spice and sugar cookie flavors from the regular grocery store :)

      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!
