I have had at least three slip ups twice I had about three cheetos and once I had a bite of fun sized snickers. I'm only 4 weeks 1 day post op and am down 26 pd since surgery. I realized the slip ups defeat the purpose for me because it's unhealthy but, it's life. All addicts have potential to regress (I'm convinced I was food addict).

So far you have had two "slip ups"; hard candies and now the marshmallows. You admitted to eating fast and larger volumes than just about any 5 week post op patient in another thread. Even though you are still losing in the honeymoon phase, this does not bode well for you. You need to get this under control before you cause yourself serious harm.

This is the time when it is easiest to establish new habits. Don't squander it on something as trivial as hard candies and peeps.

I never said I ate large volumes or fast. Wrong person buddy. I can't eat much at all. A few teaspoons of tuna and I'm full.

Me to! Two teaspoons of tuna and I feel like I've eaten a whole cow! lol I just inboxed my surgeon to see how what size my sleeve is? A ink pin or a banana [emoji529]

My nutritionist has said over and over that I'll be learning Portion Control through my sleeve. When I spoke to get about the peeps she said as long as you are eating healthy 98% of the time a little piece of cake on my birthday or a piece of candy once in a while is not bad.

I eat up to 8 ounces of food at a time with no problem and I eat kind of fast. Is this normal?

Don't get me wrong @jfcajr, it does not affect me at all what you do. I am only pointing out what could be a recurring issue to help you identify a problem before it starts.

Good luck.

      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!
