Hang with it! The first 2 or 3 weeks will be the hardest. Once you get over the mental desire, you'll do great!

I am surely more emotional than prior to surgery. I think it's just part of the process. Hang in there!

Hello and I will be a month out on tomorrow. What you are feeling is completely normal. This lifestyle is hard to get use to post-op but I know you will be fine. Just remember you have to take it one day at a time. It gets easier with time and keep reminding yourself that it takes time. Be patient follow the rules and work thru your emotions because I would always eat my emotions away. With the sleeve I can no longer do that so I have decided to go back to school!!! Trust me it will get better

I think you got it exactly. I did do some emotional eating and mindless/boredum eating. Now I cant do that any more. I need to figure out other ways of dealing with these emotions. Thanks!!

The first week after my surgery my hormones were all over the place! I would cry if I couldn't get my whole cup of Water down in the allotted time! Just remember its worth it, and surround yourself with supportive people! The emotions will go away eventually!

      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!
