I'm only 2 months and 8 days out, but I'm so happy I went through with it. I came home without diabetic meds and I have more energy now. It's a pain figuring out what I can eat now, but nothing worth having comes easy. I'm on track with what I'm supposed to be losing. I'm 5'2 and I weighed 230. I'm now below 198 (I haven't weighed at my Dr in a few weeks so I don't know the actual number)

I am 2.5 months out and feel 100% normal, except my portions are smaller. I can eat what I want, although I am choosing to eat healthy. I have had a few treats here and there, but always hit my Protein and Water goals. I am also back in the gym, 4-5 days a week. My only complaint was a long stall, but I think I needed to increase my calories. Once I started eating 900-1000 calories, especially when working out, I started losing again.

I'm 1 year out. I am literally HALF of myself! And other weight I didn't need, but that's another story [emoji19]. I'd do it again 100x over!

30 hours post-op and I don't regret it. The gas pains are very painful yet if you walk it goes away. I love it. I can't wait for the weight to melt off.

One way I know I'm full is when I get hiccups. It's crazy, but my husband laughs about it and it makes me laugh.

I'm 2 months post op as of today, down 55.5 pounds. I am SO happy I did this. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER! It has been a life changing experience, all for the better. You asked about downsides early on: The day after surgery, it was an effort to stay hydrated. I was very glad to graduate to full liquids after Clear Liquids the first week. Then I was very glad to graduate to pureed foods after being on full liquids due to more variety. Now I eat normal food, but very small portions. It's amazing to lose weight fast without feeling hungry! I REALLY wanted to be a healthy weight and considered the restrictions on what I could eat well worth it. I am almost half way to goal and feel like a new woman.

      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!
