Thanks but are you only on clear? My doc has me on clear which is why this is happening. I take it lightly and wonder when I do get to eat if I will gain a little?

5 pounds is also great in one week! :)

My surgery was on the 13th and before I was released from the hospital the dr. graduated me to full liquids which is the creamy Soups, cottage cheese, yogurt, shakes.... I have lost 10 lbs. since the day of surgery. OMG!! I can't believe it.

Y'all pray for me, I don't seem to be doing as good as all of you guys... My side is swollen & I don't feel I've lost any weight since last Wed.. I can't seem to get many liquids down - today in try'n to get in 2 Protein Shakes & more water... You all are losing so much weight & I don't think I am... Maybe b/c my stomach is swollen & irritated & inflamed...

I am sorry you aren't feeling good. Take it easy. If you haven't lost any weight now it is probably Water retention, out bodies react differently. I am sure you will start losing according to your body. Hang in there. Hope you can have your Protein today. Prayers going your way.

Oh honey- that was me a couple days ago and I was dehydrated which is a major risk to surgery. I would 1) call doc and 2) stay on Clear Liquids (if u can add unflavored Protein to your drinks). Please call you doc. I was re admitted overnight for that :(

      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.

        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!
