Oh I walk I have always been a walker so I'm walking enough so no clots start but can't walk to much because I don't have the energy yet.I am noticing it does get better day by day.

Sleeved on Sept 3rd. Started my journey on May 1st. Since my consultation i have lost 97 lbs. I took the warning that my doctor gave me to lose weight before surgery very seriously. He said that it would make the surgery and healing easier. Im at 6 weeks post of and feel great physically. Metally, eh, could be better. We were all fat for the most part because we liked to eat. Now i do not like eating at all. It has become a job and it makes me sad. Everyone says it will get better so I keep that in mind(all the time). Dont get me wrong, the weight loss and the ability to move again is Tremendous and i would never want to go back to where is was. I do miss enjoying food though.

where from in NY?

Surgery: 9/14

I'm doing ok but wish I was doing better.

The weightloss is fine, I'm down 25 lbs in total (before and after surgery) I think 15 lbs since surgery.

I can't seem to go number 2 unless I take milk of magnesia. They gave me colase but it doesn't do anything.

I can't get in enough Water and I really try but unless all I do is sip Water when I'm not eating I don't know how to do it.

I can't get in enough Protein because I really really don't want to have shakes.

I had to stop taking the Multivitamin i ordered for after surgery because it made me nearly vomit.

Other than that I'm doing ok with food and on and off with energy.

I was against shakes, because mine were horrible in the past. I found chocolate AMP at GNC and it is pretty good. My dad said it tasted like chocolate milk. It's the only way I feel like I'm getting enough Protein.< /p>

I just found this Protein powder which is tasteless and you can add it to almost everything and the best part of it all is that it is 30 grams of Protein per 1 tablespoon. maybe this is something that could be good for you to get your protein in. it's called Musclegen Research GENEPRO Protein Powder and i picked it up at Amazon.com

@@RobinGee I am using the MDPatch vitamins! Have you tried them? They are very comfortable and I hear they are working great with getting the levels up as shown in blood tests.

      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.
