You. Can. Do. It. Lol. I'm day 7 and just starting to feel somewhat normal. I am not at all hungry but am back cooking for my fam. Wow! Tougher than I thought. I wanna nibble but have been good fighting it. We can do this. Right now solid food can hurt us... that's what I try to remember.

I find when I'm cleaning my house, doing laundry etc I can go all day and not even think about food because I'm busy. Until I either get light headed and think oh I haven't eaten today. Maybe find something to occupy your mind.

Hey,

Don't be down. It gets better. I don't regret it any more. The first month is very hard. Once you get over the hump you will feel great. I am very happy now. You will too. I promise! Sending you hugs bc i know it's hard but you WILL overcome this!

30 days in and 40 pounds down (including the pre-op week)
Love it ! Have had some hard days but have always drank my 60-100 oz of Water.
Try Labrada shakes. 17 oz and 40g Protein. Fills me up and kills hunger. Might take an hour to finish. It does not leave me with the sour milk tastes some others have.
Hard at times but best thing I've ever done.

      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!

      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.
