Is anyone else getting sleeved the 30th (: I also have an Instagram account @heyitskay.vsg if anyone else in the community has an Instagram

Hi

just wanted to drop a line and say hang in there. The pre surgery diet can and does suck but hopefully it will be the hard part. The post Surgery diet is both easier and harder. Easier because if your real lucky you wont be hungery at all. It was 5 weeks out before i felt hunger pains and i was really enjoying that. It's harder beacuse its so boring those first 5 weeks or so. Make plans now for ways to distract yourself because food will not be a very big part of your life going forward and the mental game that causes is A lot tougher than i expected it to be.

good luck and dont be a stranger around here after your surgery

      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!
