You look great! I had surgery the same day and I'm down 45lbs as well. I don't know how you feel but I am really discouraged. I know this was a transitional surgery for me and my highest weight was323 now 218ish scale moves up and down but at over three months out I was hoping to see onederland soon.

QweeNique we didn't gain this weight overnight and we shouldn't expect a miracle! You've done so well! Be happy with your achievements. I know I wouldn't have been able to do this without the help of my sleeve. Please set small goals and Celebrate when you reach those milestones! Stay encouraged throughout this process.

I think you'll do fine. I'm very nervous. I live in the New Orleans area' date=' and I'm gonna miss eating all the delicious foods but I have to make this sacrifice so I can live longer and healthier. Pray on it.[/quote']

I'm in New Orleans area too. Maybe we can get together for walking or support group. I plan to attend the August 13th session at Ochsner if you want to meet.

You are doing great! I could not have lost 45 pounds in three months without this kind of help...could you? Let yourself be happy with your achievement on this journey...discouragement brings old habits. Blessings;-)

Thanks Hun! Needed a slap back to reality!

      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!
