Made it to the post sleevers



Recommended Posts

Wow, made it to the other side. I am now a post sleever. Had surgery Monday. Honestly Monday was not a good day, it was because of the anesthesia, and that was my 3rd surgery. Never reacted like that. It was hard to wake up, but I did, pain not bad, nausea not bad. Just got home. Drinking my Protein shake and will drink more Water, sips of course. It has really helped reading this website. Thanks guys, any other August, or September sleevers, please feel free to ask any questions. I am one of those who never thought I would do this, still feels a little unreal.

Congrats! Sorry you had such a rough tiem with the anethesia. Sips is key. I am two weeks out and it seems like a dream and not reality at this point. I too never thought I would do this, the second or third day I was like WTH did you do. You idiot. I have to keep remembering why I did it. It is a tool. It has been to easy for me, It is like if someone would of brainwashed me years ago I wouldn't have had to go threw this. I quit smoking cold turkey as soon as I said I was going to do it. And haven't really struggled with wanting more food. No Taste and Texture YES!!!

Good Luck!

      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!
