June 29th Bypass Surgery

How's it going everyone? I'm wondering at almost 6 months in if anyone is having any setbacks or issues?

I am at a stall but am hoping I jump out soon. I have had horrible bloating and gas pains for going on three days. Any advice on getting it to mosey on its way? I'm a 1st grade teacher so I'm always walking. The gas just feels "stuck"

No setbacks or issues going on here. Things are going really well. Losing has slowed down, but is still happening. I've lost about 35% of myself (about 118 pounds) at this point.

Hey ! This past month has been at a stall for me, only losing a whooping 3 pounds ! But in fairness i started a new habit called chips... Yep, stupid. I got off the chips and back in the gym with the trainer for the last week and the pounds are dropping again.

Sorry you're having gas pains, I wish I had a helpful tip aside from "let it go" lol lately I'll randomly get a sharp/burning pain in the area where the internal stitch is after eating, has that happened to you ?

Hey people, random question here...

Any of you at some point start feeling super tired really fast and/or had that "I wanna faint" feeling ? I've been experiencing that the past week and not sure why. Everything I consume is hitting me extremely faster than before. Like wine, or coffee. Within minutes I'm tipsy or super caffeinated. I completely forgot about the Vitamins and have started taking them for the past 5 days but I'm not sure if that's what's causing this.

When I get up I get lightheaded now. Idk if it's from surgery or not, but it lasts for a few seconds then goes away. I'm having a hard time remembering my vitamins! So bad!! Down 75 pounds since surgery and I actually fit into cute clothes at target now!! So exciting! I also noticed that some days I'm so hungry, while other days I could care less if I eat. Still small portions which is fantastic, but my eyes are still bigger than my stomach.

      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!
