Sorry I haven't written or responded in a while. I have had a very rough two months. I am officially 2 months out and I am just now starting to turn the corner. My hw 315, psw 269, sw 259, cw 233. The last 2 months since surgery I contracted cdiff, suffered from severe nausea and vomiting required multiple admissions for fluids and IV meds. Over the week, I have started drinking gingerale and for whatever reason I have all of a sudden started being able to hold food down. Today the doctor cleared me and I am doing so much better. I get to start my B12 injection and I got cleared to start working out. I am finally excited.

I was afraid of carbonated drinks myself, till I saw some researchers and surgeons talking about how irrelevant drinking carbonated drinks are down the line (drinks with zero sugar that is). I guess the initial worries are that you won't be able to meet Fluid and Protein gains because of all the gas

Happy you are doing better!!!

Glad you are getting cleared to workout. It helps. Listen to your body and when in doubt contact your NUT for clarity (something I do too):) People will have their "two cents" about "I would never do" but their body isn't yours so do what's best for you with approved doctors orders and wishing you all the best![emoji4]

Hang in there, the first year is the toughest from what I've heard in my local support group. You already lost quite a bit from what I read above, hang in there, I am certain it will keep getting better!

      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?
