Hi Tdia and Abbie!! Are you both in Des Moines? I'm in Des Moines. Had surgery September 29th. I haven't had any complications. I'm dealing with the mental stuff mostly. Figuring out how to eat again, how to cook healthy, shop healthy, etc. It's getting easier though. My team at unity point is top notch. I had Dr Lamasters. I've lost 23lbs so far....six weeks out. Slow loss so far. Hoping to join the YMCA soon. If either of you have questions, let us know. We're in this together! :-)

They dont give you one but you can use anything u want. I am partial to myfitnesspal because it has everything you need for free. U can even get macros for a recipe. It has a big database of foods including restaurants. Its just impotant to keep track.

Lucky do they give you a journal to keep track of your intake or do they recommend one? I wonder how the BariatricPal is?

Nana, you can get one from your dietician. I have a hard time remembering to journal. I've done some on myfitnesspal on my phone and I bought one too. Try to figure out what works best for you and start the habit now. I don't even write in the calories, Protein, etc. I'm just doing the food and amount I ate. And keeping track of Water too.

Luckgrl, I am in Des Moines. I had Cahalan. I too use MyFitnessPal to keep track of my Water and food. I also bought a Fitbit. The Fitbit and MyFitnessPal talk to each other which is nice.

      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?
