It's been four weeks since I had my sleeve. Things are going well. The first week or so it was difficult getting enough Protein and Water but I am doing much better now. Week 2 and 3 I had a stall and didn't lose any weight at all. I was starting to freak out and kept asking myself what I was doing wrong as I was eating all of the things I'm supposed to eat and I began excerising daily. However, at the end of week 3 the weight started coming off again. Now I am down 30 lbs since surgery and down 55 since the preop diet. I'm started ot notice changes in the way clothes fit and also I just feel better overall. This makes my excited for the future. Oh and Go Lions!

I don't weight every week. With my personality I will be focused on that and get bummed out. With my Dr we go for follow ups 1 week, 1 month, 3 month and then yearly till 5years. After my next appointment (3 month) then I will start weighing myself monthly. Congrats on your success. Keep it up!

I'm about 2 1/2 weeks post-op ( Dec 8), and I've hit a stall already. I've lost 15 since the procedure, but nothing for about a week. I did get aspiration pneumonia and have to go back into the hospital 2 days post-op for another 3 days. I'm wondering if the extra illness is playing into me not losing any more?

      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.

      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!
