Well, I am a little over two months out. I have lost 27lbs.. I've had 3 fills. The first was 2ccs. Then 1cc. And yesterday, my fill was only 1/2cc. However up until yesterday I felt a slight restriction.. but not like today. I know everyones number is different. What im wondering is if this really tight feeling, only being able to sip water/isopure, My sweet spot? Or does it mean I might need a little out? Will it stay this tight or will it loosen up a little in the days to come? Im not terribly worried since I can get Water and shakes down... And im only liquids for the rest of today and mushys tomorrow. What can I expect in the days to come?? Any info is appreciated! Thanks :)

if in a few days you still can only sip Water and Protein Drinks then you are too tight. Liquids only for 1-2 days after a fill and them mushy food for 1-2 days... so when you get to "real" food you'll know. You should be able to eat. You should be able to drink enough. If you can't then you are too tight. But there's always swelling when you're filled so as long as you can drink then give it a couple of days to let the swelling go down, then you'll know where you are.

My understanding of the sweet spot is when you can go 4 or more hours without being hungry. But u should be able to eat witbout getting to stuck if you eat it right. Chew small bites!

Good luck, hopefully your there!

      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.

      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!
