I am also 4 days post op. I do think about food, but the thought that my stomach is healing takes over. When those thoughts come to my mind I just think of why I did this. I am just counting my days until 4/17 when I get moved to Stage 2. Try to refocus when food comes to mind. I like to think of my clothes getting big on me. That always puts a smile on my face, especially that we did this 3 months before summer.

Pretty soon all this will be a memory. Just follow your plan, and buy some new flowers for the garden. I found my days were easier when I distracted myself with busy little projects. Good luck! This is awesome!

I am curious about how long was your pre-op diet and what were you able to have to eat on it?

I didn't have to do the preop liquid diet so after surgery I found myself liking the sugar free pop cycles. Hang in there!

A friend of mine had her sleeve in February. Her son and she went to a movie and he got popcorn. She grabbed a piece and smelled it. Lol. She said it helped! ? I know it's hard but we're here for you. If you need support come in here or go for a walk. Stay strong.

      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!
