Don't worry about the food for awhile, just try to get the liquids in. Try a shot glass at a time and keep track

Thanks I will try that . It's also hard to get all my Protein in but I am going to go buy some Isopure drinks I know that will help with my protein intake

I am also 3 days out and having a very difficult time getting my Protein and liquid requirements in for the day. I only got about half in yesterday. Hoping for an improvement today. This is certainly a lot harder than I thought it would be.

Try to think of these first couple of weeks as babying your new sleeve and incisions. Healing time. Gentle liquids to keep you hydrated and be easier on the abused tissue. Don't be concerned about all the diet regimens right now. Later when you transition to soft, then solid foods and are allowed to start doing real exercises......that's when you can step it up a notch and pay closer attention to daily intakes. Just try to get in enough liquids so you don't get dehydrated or dizzy. Take it easy. ;)

      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!
