I also experienced this with me working 13 hour shifts as a nurse being on my feet all night. Now my plan says I do not need a b-12 supplement but everything I have read says I do and that it will help with energy and metabolism. So I have found a sub lingual supplement to try and see if it works.

I too am scheduled on 1/27 and I feel your pain. I'm at a point now where I'm so bored with my food choices and tired of Soup, that I have to force myself to eat even though I'm starving. I would rather go hungry than eat soup or fudgesicles. I just want this over with. My energy level has suffered a bit, but I've been taking my multi-vitamins so the fatigue is not that bad. This diet sucks!!! I have fasted from sun up until sunset for 30 days straight for Ramadan every year, but nothing compares to this.

Your energy level will get better but it may take a while if you're like me. Keep up with the Protein Shakes and take Multi Vitamins. With me I believe that part of the fatigue was caused by depression because I was mourning overeating. That went away as I saw success on the scale. Best wishes to you.

I have more energy than I know what to do with. After about 4 days post op, and with maybe 2 afternoons where I needed a nap, I have had an abundance of energy. Way more than I had prior to surgery. I feel like this is the best think I have ever done for myself!

      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!
