I am with you, Sleeved Aug 6. Put on liquids 7 days out and next Doc appt. 4.5 weeks

out. Thats the soonest to be put on purea foods, than softs and real food.So, for me

it will be 7 or 8 to eat real food. This is my Docs plan for everyone an he has been great,

he is very cautions with everthing.I was on clear liquid 2 week pre op So, it will be 8-10

week with no real food. That ok, I feel great, off 5 out 6 Meds and losing. Hang in there

it will get better.

I have been on liquids for 4 weeks. After my first post op visit I was told my stomach was still swollen so I had to stay on liquids for two more weeks. This has been the first week I try mushy foods. Although I've only tried a couple of tablespoons of egg, I'm trying to slowly try some form of food. I still mostly drink my liquids and I'm about to finish my 5th week Monday.

My surgeons nurse told me I will be on liquids only for 8 weeks total. This includes 1 week pre op. My doctor is extra cautious with the sleeve versus bypass post op diet. So, you aren't the only one! Be strong.

      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!
