Congratulations! Thank you VERY much for posting as I am having mine done on Monday 3/7. Another March date. I have been so anxious this week about the surgery but reading all the posts on this site does make me feel better. I look forward to also being on the losers bench starting next week and keep up with all on here. Thanks again!

Thanks for the shout out! (I hope that doesn't count towards my 15 minutes of fame though)- hee hee

I can ditto just about everything you've posted here. I've had a great experience and hope that others reading will be as social too and meet new friends in the hallways as we did. I am very much looking forward to staying connected with you ~ I think you're AWESOME!

Hey, it's my new SMF (Sleeve Mate Forever).

I think we had as much fun in a hospital as possible allowed. I'm doing great this morning. When I first wake up I feel like I did an ab class at LA fitness in the middle of the night but once i get moving all is good.

this was the first morning that I did the whole shower, make-up, hair dry and straighten etc etc... and it feels good to look like a human again.

Well for me it's been back to taking care of my boys. I made dinner for my husband last night (steak and salad) and have been doing minor non-strenuous house work (like dishes and folding laundry) and making school lunches etc.

I will probably go back to work Monday or Tuesday.

I'm looking forward to getting of the clear liquid diet. I need more Protein and I can't do the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth. It is nasty and doesn't taste like any real broth i've every had. I'm not much on the powdery taste. I like reg. Protein shakes and look forward to my first one on monday morning. i've been drinking the V8 juice lite mixed with the Isopure fruit punch Protein. I'm just a Water girl and would prefer Water but i know i need some calories. I do miss my morning diet Dr. Pepper.

Glad to see you on board.....

      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!
