@@Lazy_Lizzy, you should update your stats to reflect your current weight.

I use my phone to read the messages and I don't think it can be done from here and in on a computer one in a while I will try to update when I'm on :)

Hey all! 4 weeks out, 10/13/2014, down 43lbs. 68lbs total since July.

Yes the weight has come off, however been experiencing post nasal drip, really didn't eat at all for the first 23 days, about 60g of Protein in, and about 40 oz of liquids, had to get IV's the 2nd week due to dehydration.

HOWEVER, past 3 days have been better.. More liquids, eating 2-3 times a day, 65g of Protein, more energy, finally back in the gym, feeling better. Gotta start somewhere :)

Crystal, that is astonishing. Do you feel weak? Hopefully it will slow down some now. My doctors two month goal for me is 35 pounds, lol.

Great loss and im glad your energy is coming back. Are you any sublingual B12, if so how much and what frequency?

Getting ready to head into the urgent care. Woke up with extreme abdomen, back and groin pain. Almost positive its a kidney stone. I've had them years ago (drank to much mountain dew back in the day) but its a pain you dont forget.

No I don't feel weak at all actually but Im scared I'll start to. When do we start B12?

My supplement regimen began my second week post op. This includes a weekly sublingual B12 of 1000mcg.

@ So strange! I don't have to take anything other than a daily multi Vitamin. Wonder why this is different for me.

@@rmspencer, in my experience I have seen varying degrees of differences from surgeon to surgeon; from pre op to post op procedures. Also keep in mind that the individuals helping us have blood work and other vital information to help tailor a nutritional plan for us. Early in the process they are likely generating baselines and as we progress our diets and nutritional, supplemental and mineral intake can change.

      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!
