Yes, it's true. 9 weeks post op and can only eat 1/2 cup or so at a time.

Sounds like you have a very tight sleeve. There may still be some inflammation in there...perfectly normal though. As long as you can eat that much and not be in pain, I see no problem. Your capacity will increase slightly over time.

Be happy for a restrictive sleeve. I definitely had/have one, and while it is a pesky thing when I want to enjoy more food, it definitely keeps me on the straight and narrow! :-)

Hi, I am 3.5 weeks out, I can eat about 1/2 cup of Soup, but any soft food I have tried I can only eat about 3 small bites before I feel very full! So much so I have been avoiding anything other than liquids, I'm glad my sleeve is restrictive, but that feeling of fullness is very uncomfortable!

      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!
