Any August sleevers out there?

@@Mammy56 I hate the dessert flavored Protein Drinks, too. I drink them like medicine. Unjury's chicken Soup Protein Powder isn't too bad, but it's very watery.

I still have swelling and sore around my incisions but I'm feeling like I am making progress every day! There is so much in the beginning that you are so focused on, like Protein intake and Fluid intake, medications that you kinda don't have much time to realize that a week has already passed! I had a horrible hiatal hernia that had to be repaired but the excitement of starting this new chapter in my life makes you forget the pain! It's like having a baby! Some people recoop sooner than others so on the first day they tell you to get so much liquid in.....do it! I didn't the first night and was back at the hospital for two bags of Fluid after being stuck 8 times, in places that were horrible just to find a vein. So I can say, the only thing I would do differently is that first night no matter how hard it is or how bad you feel, get your fluids in and you will do fine! When you start feeling unreal pain get up and walk and it helps! Everything your surgical team tells you is the best advice to live by during it all!! Until Saturday I thought I was never going to feel ok but when I was able to start with Protein it jump started my body and I started getting more energy and started feeling better! It's a serious surgery with pain but it's one I would do again knowing what I know now! I am excited for us all because we have been given an amazing tool and we don't ever have to be obese again :)

Glad you're feeling better! And I agree, I feel a bit giddy about the idea of never being obese again--and the progress I can expect to make over the next year.

      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?
