January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I should be sleeping now since I have to get up at like 4:00 in the morning but I can't! I'm not nervous about the surgery itself but the pain after and trying to eat has me pretty nervous. Ah!!

Yay!! Good luck! Just remember..the pain wont last forever and from what ive read there is more nausea than pain...i dont know whats worse...lol crossing fingers for ya!!!

I had my surgery yesterday morning. I'm sore, but doing fine. I've been walking as much as possible. I am so thirsty! I'm waiting to have my leak test.

I'm one week away from my diet and one week into my liquid diet. It's getting easier but I've started figuring out my binge eating times. I always seem to gravitate to the kitchen right at 4pm. It's just crazy that in a week I hopefully won't feel this hunger at all.

Good luck. You all will do fine. I had surgery Monday and the worse thing for me has been the spasms. Getting better though.

2 Weeks Post op with no complications. Feeling good down 33 lbs. Had to go get new sweat pants and had to get XL size because XXL was too big. Oh what a feeling!!!! Loving the journey. 85 lbs to go.

wow - fantastic... 2 weeks out and 33 lbs!!!! I am two weeks out and down only 13 lbs from day of surgery (23 lbs from beginning of year)! I am feeling good about losing the weight, but I see your loss and wonder what I need to be doing!?! My doc has me on soft foods - not puree, but chicken or whatever as long as it is super soft! What are you doing at this point? Keep up the great work!

I'm 2 weeks today and also down 13lbs. 53 total which I love but anxious to see the post surgery lbs add up. I'm on puréed food starting today so can't wait till dinner time when I can eat MEAT! Even puréed meat will be ok. I made pork chops in my slow cooker last weeks, so packaged up 1/2 cups of meat and gravy for myself out of the leftovers. Yummy! Hoping I have no problems eating it.

      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!
