This is a very interesting thread! It sounds like what you want has totally changed. That is actually supported by research that shows food selection changes after vsg and Rny independent of post surgery healing restrictions. So, Hooray! I'm about a month away from my surgery date and feeling nervous so I love success stories like yours. Thanks so much for sharing AND for your transparency about how it was for you prior to surgery! Rock on!

I haven't had the surgery yet, but I can only liken these stories to when I get the flu--my cravings change. While normally, I would really like pizza, chips, wine, and whatnot, when I get the flu my cravings shift to a desire for bland oatmeal, chicken noodle Soup, and diet sprite. The other foods I would normally crave repel me a bit because they seem to lack nutrition and things (especially the wine) feel uncomfortably "rough" going down. These, of course, are the weeks where I have lost 5 lbs.

Congratulations! Awesome, inspiring story!! I am 21 days away from my surgery and starting to get jitters so posts like this help me remember that the reward is greater than the risk!

God bless you on your journey.

      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?
