So i had my sleeve yesterday at 730am. It took until 11am because he had to repair a hernia and removed my gallbladder. So they couldnt get my blood pressure out of the 200's and my oxygen dropped very low and i couldnt come out of the anesthesia so i was put into intensive care. Today was completely different and im in a regular room. Im able to keep down my fluids so tomorrow they will try me on phase 2 such as cream of wheat. So maybe ill be home on friday. Everyone has been so nice. I guess the fun will start when i get home on my own. I hope everyone that had their surgery yesterday is doing great

You took the step over that line, that's the biggest move. Now it'll be a lot of little moves that add up to weight loss :) I had mine done on Sept 23rd, I'm almost two weeks out now and starting on the mushy foods (thank goodness). After nearly a month of nothing but liquids, I was going nuts.

Be prepared for your mind to take you for a ride, because you just robbed it of a lot of its comfort and removed a coping mechanism from your toolbox. There will be a mourning period, but don't sweat it. It's getting easier for me, and everyone who's been there says it passes, and you come out stronger. But this thing is at least as mental/emotional as it is physical.

Keep walking, every day walking...get your pedometer going so you can track it. It'll help get the gas out, and it'll help you heal better. Really focus on that Protein, try hard to meet those goals because it really helps speed healing if you're getting enough. Good luck!

      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.

        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.
