Hi everyone! My name is Trish and yesterday I had my sleeve surgery. I'm so excited about my new life. I've stocked my kitchen at home for success and I'm ready to move forward with life. I'm a single Mom, 42 and new to this world!

Hi! Sorry for the delay in writing. Things are going really well. I haven't gotten the hang of getting all of my medications in, BUT , I'm getting the essentials in. Tonight I'm setting up alarms to remind me to take things at various times. I feel pretty good actually. I just made myself get up and do my 30 minute walk though I didn't want to...lol. taking it slowly. The first night was the worst in terms of pain, but after I filled the prescription for pain. I slept like a baby last night and woke up in less pain! I did take my pain meds tonight because I'm hoping for a nice long nights sleep! Please let me know how your surgeries go! It was weird not feeling hunger. I think today was the first day I've been hungry this week!

Congrats Trish!!! It sounds like things are coming along nicely for you. I have my surgery on March 25th and I'm ready to get it over with. My anxiety is starting to kick in. ????????

Sounds like your doing great! I have also found that setting alarms is very helpful! Having a plan for each day, laying out my "meals", and keeping a journal (I use "lose it.com) of meals and weight. Congrats and keep it up!

      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!
