My surgery was on November 23rd, I'm 7 months post op and I'm currently down 128lbs since surgery, 151lbs total. I've been noticing a lot people have been losing faster or slower and I'm proud of all of you! The reason I'm posting is because I was wondering if any of you have been feeling like you're falling back into old habits or if you have a fear of failing? I've been having a lot of mixed feelings since my journey and I'm not sure how everyone else feels. Sometimes I have great eating days, other times I'm ashamed and realized I did a horrible job following my plan. I'm stuck somewhere between who I was and who I want to be. Am I alone in this?

My greatest fear. I have pretty much fallen off the wagon. I crave sweets and although I have eating restrictions, I am always hungry in my head. I have only lost 45 pounds since 11/5 and fluctuate between 167 - 170. Very hard

I feel the same way too. And every day has been a complete and utter struggle.

And I am sort of there too, feel that I have missed a step or I would do better at things, was I just" shooting myself in the foot"? and NOBODY wants to help me face these concerns. Yes down into the Inner ME, I am glad for my surgery, my surgeon, even the facility, but out on the surface, qualms, the conviction I may have. done something wrong, maybe these trails are my fault! Perhaps come the morning, things will get better!

      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!
