Congrats to all that have their dates, I had my gastric bypass May 6th, I'm doing good best I can tell you is follow the diet plan they give you. Don't get disappointed if you do lose a lot right off I'm only down 14 pounds but for me I'm very happy not going up coming down. Make sure you eat slow drink only 20 mins b4 eating and 20 mins after I got sick one time my fault stomach was full but tasted so good ate to much that's a no no.. I feel so much better my depression is almost none existent my energy is coming back. I wish you all good luck :)

Itt's really odd.... I had surgery yesterday and from everything I've read it's so hard to get all your liquids down. I am having no problems. I can drink 4ounces at a time... Also ate a Jello cup with no problems.

I'm 2 days post op and can't get anything down until this gas is out... and I can't seem to get it out for nothing.

I have surgery on Monday at 1045. I am on a 2 day all liquid diet starting tomorrow. It's getting real

It really is... well best of luck to you. I am 3 days post op....and nobody told me how painful the gas pains would be (drs pump u up w/gas at surgery. .and they give u meds to stop your bowels). They (gas pains) are worse than the surgery itself....but walk..walk. ..walk around the hospital...and it will pass..mine took about 40 hours...and that's with taking gas-x and lots of walking. Just keep walking. ..and putting heat pads on ur chest.

You will be in prayers for a speedy recovery!

I am 3 days post-op and pooped this morning. Wasn't much but enough to help relieve some gas too. I've been walking a lot and the gas isn't too bad. I came home from the hospital yesterday and I'm feeling not too bad. My stomach is sore but that's expected. I gain a few pounds in the hospital but lost that last night. Now I am just trying yo get some Protein Shakes down and my Water. Little sips...I also exited for this journey to finally be here! Thanks for asking! How is everyone doing?

      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!
