google Dr Matthew Weiner he has a video that tells you the progression of how much food you will be able to eat over a period of a year. Please follow your food plan so you staple line has time to heal properly and you don't hurt yourself. I am not sure how much teaching the dr did with you but make sure you follow the Vitamin requirements or you can end up with medical issues.

Thank you, I just googled and bookmarked some of his videos. Will watch it tonight. My doctor gave me good amount of Vitamin supplements, I'm taking 3 times a day.

That is a tough question you posed for me, my significant other is everything of an opposite to me, South African, blue eyed, blonde hottie, she is very fit and active, so she has been with me through my journey, I did this primarily for me, I wanted more time and activities with my family, in fact my wife is a lot more cautious and stressed about this than I am, as I said in the previous post, if they are your friends you have no reason to hire anything, I would think more so with a potential future significant other, it's easy to be accepted because of image, but even sweeter to have acceptance because of perception! Don't ever be ashamed of what you did, and I can't agree that it was your fault but I respect that you do, the medical system is set up as such here, informed consent is very important, if your friend turns on a light switch and it sparks but he doesn't say anything to you then you go to turn on the light and shock yourself who was at fault? Go forward !

      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.

        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!
