Hi Heather

Thanks for responding!!! I actually have good energy, I was most tired until about 2 to 3 weeks out. The supplements are really helping, my surgeon told me to take Flinstones chewables but I switched to an organic vegetable based Vitamin. You may be tired if you are not getting enough fluids in or Protein. I am on the soft food diet now but I've tailored it to meet my own likes, I'm a very fussy eater. My struggle is more mental, I'm of Italian descent and much of my socialization was centered around food so I want things that I can't have right now. And boy would I love a huge Hershey bar right now,LOL What types of things are you experiencing?

Hi Caylyn

So good to hear from someone that had their surgery at Highland. I'm curious to know how your experience has been. I had Dr. O'Malley, I haven't had any complications but I feel like it's been a slow process. I guess I just expected the weight to come off quickly, I started at 311 at surgery and am now at 280. How have things been for you?

Ann Marie,

I'm glad to hear you have energy, that has been one thing I've been lacking. I know I haven't been getting enough Protein. But lately my problem is non hunger. I don't feel hungry at all. If my husband and I go out to eat we order one plate and I get to eat my little portion and he eats the rest :) it works out for us

Hello fellow bypasses! I'm

Sarah and had my surgery on May 20th. Weight lost to date is 9 stone. Main problems are feeling cold most of the time and then sudden sweats and sickness after most foods even if it's lettuce! The cold in this country isn't great to start with but I'm sure there's more to it than that! Does anyone else feel this way? DUrham, England

I had my surgery on 9/28 in NH. I am feeling pretty good. I had a wedding this past weekend, and that was pretty tough to deal with while eating my yogurt and baby food! I was also super tired when I got home.

I had been averaging about 1.5 pounds a day loss since the surgery, but it slowed at the wedding. I went into surgery at 279.9 lbs and am currently at 269. I can't wait to eat regular food again!

      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!
