Hi CantBelieve_IdidIit!

Dont really know where to start, but I was always a big kid.

Used to play rugby and was a school swimmer (high school) was always big and muscular, till I went to the Army.

I had an operation on both my feet, due to injury, thus unable to walk for almost 8 mths in 2003.

Since den I've just been eating and eating and eating.

No exercise.... loads of alcohol and serious binge eating especially at night after 11pm.

I've put on heaps of weight and decided to have a VST this year because I felt I couldnt keep to dieting and exercise. And the VST went well on the 1st May 2012.

Since then I've lost alot of weight and am continuing to lose even more.

I've noticed my shoulders getting smaller... kinda like an "A" body shape, and decided to head to the gym last night, hoping to bulk up my shoulders before even more weight loss occurs.

I get sleeved in a week and my first trip will be to Singapore. What Hawker food could you eat 6 weeks out? I am thinking grilled stingray or Chili Crab would go down easy.

after 6 weeks ....

almost everything... just in very very very tiny portions and in a very very long time (chewing).

Spicy food is ok.... depends on how bad your acid reflux is ...

I respond quite well to spicy food ... but have heard from others who just cant take it.

Welcome to our little island :)

Wishing you a good one :)

      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!
