Hi, I'm only 6 days post-op, but am already thinking I may have made a mistake. I don't want to live a life of deprivation. food is around us at every occasion, am I just to sit there and eat nothing all the time? I'm so confused as to what my future will look like in regards to food/eating..,,

You will be able to eat anything you want (that is if it agrees with you and your sleeve). I am 6 months out but when I go to monthly meetings and events, I never am at a loss for something to eat and have been that way for months. It's the same when you go out and eat. I never have trouble finding anything on the menu I can eat. Please don't worry about it right now. You will not be deporived. Your food intake amount is decreased, but as far as depriving yourself, you won't. I had my 6 month visit today, and my Dr. told me he didn't think I was eating enough! You will not be someone sitting there eating nothing, so don't worry about it. this is the best thing you could have done for yourself and your health.

Thank you guys for your support. I feel as if I'm mourning food! It's crazy! I know it'll get easier, it has everyday. But hearing it from others that have been there is priceless.

      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!
