well fellas it looks like everything went the way it should. My liver was beautiful to quote Dr. Trotter and the surgery went great. The only issue I have is having to drink so much powdered mix everyday. It seems like I have to drink 1 oz an hour and it gets old quick... Anyway thx for all the well wishes and I'm glad I made this choice.

Im 11 months post op and I remember those early on days, Keep sipping . Ive always drank a lot of Water but for the first few months it was hard to get plain Water down. I drank a lot of poweraid zero, that went down much easier. I can drink water without any problems now, Im so happy with my new way of life.

Congrats - Just keep with the program and things will improve quickly.

I'm 10 months out at this point and down over 120 lbs. I cant say it enough - Follow the Program! - the early days and any struggles are only a memory at this point but it is all worth it.

      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!
