Hi May sleeve buddies! Sleeved 5/21 and was hoping to lose 25 lbs in first month (had seen a number of folks at my starting weight/age who seemed to avg 20-25lbs). 4 days and only 2 more lbs to go to meet my goal! SW 250 (day of surgery), CW 227, 5'7". So exciting to see everyone's progress. Hope everyone is recovering well. Would be interested...what's your top tip you'd want to share? Mine is my newfound love of "bites" (aka crust less quiches) made somewhat famous by emilybites.com and theworldaccordingtoeggface.com. I made my own version of buffalo chicken bites this week and am in heaven. You can see my recipe on my blog if curious. What's your fave tip?!

Getting there. Everyday I feel a little better, getting out of the house helps A LOT. Swam over the weekend. Felt like a million bucks in the pool, slept like a baby lol (: we have to meet up again!

I was sleeved on 5/17/12. I'm down 43lbs. I'm still on the Soft Stage and do to graduate to Regular food on July 7th! Yay!!

I still get a little burning/sore sensation to the right of my larger incision. Doc says it's where they stitched my stomach internally and it's still healing.

I was told I can start swallowing pills but I'm scared. I'm deficient in Vitamins A, D and Iron. I start taking the Vitamin D soft gels on Monday!! Gulp!

It's still a challenge to get in my fluids.

I feel amazing. No pain, I walk, I stand with no problem. I'm so happy I did this!!

      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!
