Today is day 28 post surgery. Pre consult weight 11/23 was 255. SW 12/8 was 249.6. Today at dawn: 228.0. So 21 pounds in 21 days, that's nice and steady on paper, but it was like 14 pounds in 10 days and then a 10 day stall where I lost inches and not pounds. The third week stall is a thing, and it happened to me. I am 5'11" and my goal is to get down under 185. My doc said at my surgery weight of 149, I was 100 pounds over IDEAL weight... But I don't know that 149 for me IS ideal. I looked pretty skinny at 185. So, that is my goal. Under 185. I wonder how long this will take? At 4 weeks, I have somewhat gone off the reservation with the liquid-vs-blended-vs-puree. I decided to keep my sleeve secret from my family. So at two weeks, I was at Christmas vacation with the big group. I did tell them a partial truth: I had ended up in the hospital with dry heaves so bad I was admitted for two days (which is exactly what happened after my outpatient procedure) and I wasn't going to eat much and don't worry about it. No one did, much. So, I had a nibble if veg-puree and gravy, wet BBQ, eggs, a crumb of biscuit, etc. The results have been mixed, but I am pleased. Tracking every gram of Protein an calories. Ugg. I hate protein shakes....

Good morning all. I'm still 2 nutritionist appointments away from setting my surgery date. But already the nerves are starting. All of your posts are so extremely helpful and insightful. I wish you all much success and God bless

      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.
