I guess it was my turn



Recommended Posts

I would imagine that all of us that decided on surgery have a day that makes us doubt our choice. Today was mine. I am almost 3 weeks post op. For some reason today I hated everything. Hated Soup, Protein Shakes, feeling tired, gas pains, bathroom issues and not being able to have a beer. I thought is it really worth it?? My best friend had the sleeve 3 years ago and I know she is grateful for it. But as of this moment I am having a hard time thinking about the future. I just want to feel better. I want to chew something! For some reason my surgeon doesn't have Jello on his phase 2 approved list. I just had to vent. Thank you for listening. I need to lose 50 pounds and improve my health. I know that this was a good choice. I just don't feel it today.

Sounds about right. I certainly felt the same way about 3 weeks out. Just keep in mind it does get better.

Yup. I had a day like that around the three week mark too. It gets so much better when you move to soft foods.
You'll feel better. But I know NOW would be good. Some days just suck but the better days are definitely coming!

Thank you guys so much. I am glad it's not uncommon around the 3 week mark. I know better days are ahead they just seem a long way. Thanks!

I hope you feel better soon. It's no fun feeling that way.

      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!
