2 Week follow-up



Recommended Posts

I went for my 2 week check-up at Dr. Cobourn's office and met with Sue. She said I was doing awesome! I was really excited. We just went over some basic stuff, like I could go swimming, have a bath etc. She clipped one stitch that I had.

Then we got to the topic of food. She said I could start on soft foods right away, which included fish. I practically yelled at the poor lady "can I have salmon sashimi?" She said yup, so that is what I had for dinner, I don't think I have ever been so excited. I told my hubby, that I think this is the first time I actually "tasted" it, because with each piece I took 5 little bites, chewed the heck out of it and put my chopsticks down in between.

I know I don't have my first fill yet and I am technically still in "bandster's hell" but it has just been upgraded to purgatory.

I am so happy that I did this, I already feel so much better. And I am on my way to Twoterville!

Hi Doxielover,

I bet your first bite of food tasted awesome! You should be so proud about how much weight you have lost so far...great job!

I'll be joining in in "Bandster Hell" in about 3 weeks. Actually, make that in 1 week since that is when I start the infamous liquid diet.

Lisa, CONGRATS

I thought about you yesterday when I met with Sue. I too asked about food, in particular Peanut Butter, and she said I could have it. I was told I could start soft also. I am actually scared to try it. I continued with puree yesterday and today. I suppose eventually I will lose my fear and actually try soft !! I am looking forward to swimming this weekend!

      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.

        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.

      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!
