Good luck with your surgery--you won't die! You will be a great success and LIVE! I won't be having surgery until next month but am happy to follow your progress and stay in touch!

April 4th for me. Thought this would be a little harder than it is, no complications, drinking Protein Water and Protein Shakes.< /p>

I'm April 5. Its been so much easier than I had feared. Trying to transition to soft food. That's a little hard.

I'm trying to learn how to navigate this site too. I find it a little hard to get back to the forums that I respond to.

I'm curious how we early April Sleevers progress too.

Good luck everybody.

I don't want to lose hope I don't know what I'm doing wrong I know I wasn't able to eat all my Protein because I kept throwing up

If you are still throwing up...call your Surgeon. If you are getting all of your Water and Protein in - you are experiencing the Stall. It's very common. Stay off the scale and drink Water, get protein and walk - the scale will eventually catch up.

Thanks KristenLe I will stay off the scale I'm so use to stepping on the scale it's going to be hard but I will try. It's also when my own mother says to me you do don't look any thinner to me I guest she expected to loose 50 lbs in 3 weeks, I think this is why I'm in the Suport group for the moral Suport

Hello all,I just found the site today. I had my gastric sleeve procedure done last week April 21. Also had a hernia fixed at the same time. I feel so bad for the people who have mentioned Throwing up post surgery. Hick ups and coughing are bad enough. Luckily that's the worst I have done. This Friday will be my first follow-up visit, allowing me to switch from liquid diet too soft foods.

Hello all. My surgery was on April 1st, fools! Doing good so far. Lost about 45 lbs or so. I started working out May 1st and I'm about to start shopping for new clothes. Everyone has notice as well.

      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!
