I've had an easy time so far. I haven't thrown up even once. I take my time while I'm eating so I can listen to my body when it tells me to stop (usually with a hiccup or burb). It's pretty easy. I haven't thrown up at all. I haven't even allowed myself to eat to restriction (although I only have a little Fluid in my band right now as I haven't had my first fill yet). I've lost 21 pounds thus far...14 of those being on the pre op diet. I have not started working out yet. I was told to wait 4 to 6 weeks. I plan to start walking every day in 2 weeks. I'll wait until my first fill and ask my doctor if it's okay to start doing more than that which will be on January 3rd. I keep my calories between 500 and 900. I guess you could say that's my one problem. Getting in ENOUGH calories. I don't think I'm eating enough. I just entered my last stage which is soft foods. I go to normal foods on Tuesday. It will probably change then. When is your surgery? Let me know if you have any more questions!

      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!
