I have been loosing slowly. I haven't stalled yet. Thank God but have lost 20 lbs in 5 wks. Kind on the slow side. My husband kept pushing me to take a picture to compare from before because he can totally see the difference. I never liked pictures that much but decided to do one today and OMG. I am shocked.

Ignore the craze eyes and the chapped lips. Its El Paso, no amount of Chapstick helps me.

So for anyone worried take pictures. Its the best thing ever. I mean I see this face every morning in the mirror but it wasn't until I compared the pictures that I realized the difference.

      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.

      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!
