I am July 24th for my sleeve. It seems like I've been talking about it forever, and now the countdown is on and it's real. And THAT is making it seem surreal.

I'm on 2 weeks optifast/optislim, but can also have 2 cups of salad/veg and 130g Protein. I save the protein & veg and just have an evening meal with the family. I will say however I don't think I realized how much I have been dependent on carbs to satisfy me or make me feel better. I was nauseas last night, and my first thought was, in the past I would have had some tea and toast to settle my tummy, but can't do that now. Loll I'm going to have to find a lot of things to distract myself from mindless eating.

      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!
