I definitely have had anxiety about losing my best friend "food". It's tough especially when the people around you continue to enjoy all of your old faves. I swear, not even a week out the hospital and I've seen Chick Fil A, Taco Cabana, Wendy's and pizza Hut boxes laying around the house. I'm like jeez guys can you stick the knife any deeper.

I was sleeved on the 22nd of June. I miss the numbness that food gave to me. I do love texture and flavor too. Every time I see others eating junk, I count the fat grams, the non-existent Protein, the carbs, and I picture the new me. My family went to Sonic last night. There was nothing that I could have. So I ordered a Route 44 cup of ice for 75 cents. I chews the ice slowly and eventually drank the melted ice. Keep asking yourself why?

That is very tough! I am fortunate my family semi-tries to eat healthy like me. They occasionally eat unhealthy food but I don't know how I would manage with being around it all the time. Props to you!

Have you tried maybe asking them to eat that when you're not home? Or for them to eat it outside of the home so you don't have to see, smell, dream about it? Lol

I often will get frustrated at the fact that I can't eat as fast as others do. I will be hungry and just want to eat at the speed of my hunger. I think I need to start eating healthy Snacks during the day so I don't get so hungry at dinner time. It is a battle and will be worth it in the end. This too shall pass.

I forgot for one meal and paid for it with pain. So I have to pay attention to the speed. Tough with guys eating at the speed of light

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
