Hi everyone! I'm new posting here. I'm 2 days post op and trying my hardest to get thru right now. I'm barely getting my Protein in or Water. Any suggestions?

You're not going to get much protein in this early, just focus on staying hydrated. Try to get in as much liquid as possible for now. With time you'll start to get more protein in. Congrats on your journey.

@@aloudwhisper, I didn't realize you are from Maryland as well. Did you have your surgery at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore? They have a great support group on Monday and every other Monday.

I moved to Birmingham, Alabama 2 years ago. I had my band at Washington hospital, but I converted here. I am not cleared to work out yet. I have been trying to really take it easy since I went back to work 5 days out. I am on soft foods. I am trying to get use to the sleeve and not stuff my sleeve. It's so crazy, small things like eating eggs is not a struggle. 1 egg, can sometimes be a lot for my small pouch, so I am learning my tolerance. I want to begin working out. I'm going to a conference this weekend, so i will be doing a lot of walking. I am ready to take this thing to the next level.

Welcome to the other side. I am 13 days out. I was just encouraged to keep sipping. It's hard. So popsicles and Jello helps. I also enjoyed hot broth. I would drink it out of my portable coffee mug. It only allows sips at a time. That make it much easier for me. You want to find protein that really works for you also.

      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!
