Anita, I didn't even know that you were headed in for your surgery. I guess I missed some of the posts. We almost have the same birthdate...mine 6/24 and we won't discuss the year....LOL Let us hear if you need anything. Congratulations on getting your band and many happy losses, hon. Heal well and heal fast!

Randy and Ms Joy:

I'm feeling great! I've been pretty active with walking around the house and riding to the store with my Mom. Mom and DD were here for the weekend; now I'm on my own. I'm so hungry; but I can handle it :eek:

Well, just remember (please, please, please) that this phase is for healing. Don't worry about losing. Joy did a pretty good job of it by CONSTANTLY having something at hand to sip on. And she really enjoyed the trips to Sonic for a semi-frozen treat. And she still lost weight.

I'm a meat eater. I wish I could have a "pork chop" popsicle or BBQ slush!

Maybe some pinto bean juice.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_wink.png" alt=";)" srcset="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have cooked some homemade Soups and runny mashed potatoes, strained them, and put them in the freezer. I can live with that another 3-4 days. I am walking 40-50minutes a day; walking makes me hungrier.

How did you like Dr. McCarty? I was just referred to him and would like to know information about him and how he handles things before I go see him. I already signed up for the seminar, what should I expect after that?

      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!
