I have the same issue at times. It's still a mental challenge but it does get better. I've learned to only place very small amounts on my plate now and stop as soon as I feel full. I would like to learn how to stop before the full feeling but I'm not there yet. I put my fork down between bites and look around, chew, think about my new body, then go back to it lol. I'm trying to make food less of a priority. It's hard girl but we will both get there.

I was sleeved 11/12/16.

Thanks and I believe we will! It's just harder to do than say. I'm still trying to learn when I'm full before I get the feeling and having a big glob of spit

I can definitely relate.

I am struggling with eating slowly... I have always been a fast eater and now I am trying not to be.

I am also struggling with making sure there is a full 30 minutes between eating and drinking... the struggle is real!!!

You look fantastic and I am super proud of how far we both have come!

Keep it up! you are doing great!

Thanks bre!!!!! We both will be some healthy thin mints real soon lol

My biggest struggle is also the drinking waiting after I eat to drink is so hard. Sometimes when I eat things I worry that I'm stretching my stomach but I don't know if it's just me being paranoid

I guess this ex pains why we have the psychological evaluation as well bc it's a lot of mental requirements

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.
