I have been doing good. Progress has been pretty steady. Surgery was 3 months ago' date=' I'm down 30 lbs since. 50 lbs total. I think the only struggle I have now is taking my Vitamins. I keep them on my desk at work and still forget to take them! LOL! I have the memory of an old lady!

How have you been doing???[/quote']

I've been doing good...I think I have one of those "sleeve of steel" I can tolerate anything. I love icy cold drinks, hot tea and spicy stuff. The problem I'm having is slowing down...I tend to eat way too fast and that's when I get in trouble. I'm having problems with my multi and Calcium pills, they're way to big and I hate the after taste, so for now I'm taking calcium chewy bites and I need to find an alternative to my multi. My tummy just don't like them lol. I've lost a total of 66lbs (35 preop & 31 post-op). I never know how I'm going to feel the next day which is strange, but I guess this too shall pass. I'm slowly gaining my energy back as the days go by. I love my sleeve except for the days where I just want to bury my face in Chinese food LOL.

I think I've seen him being walked by our house?!? We rescued our girl (about 140 lbs) in Dec 2012; she's 19 months old! She needs training...badly. ????

Ha!!! I do miss some pig out sessions every now and then!!! ;) I have been taking Centrum chewables (not gummies, these are more like a clingstone vitamin). Orange flavor, not too bad. But I also was told if I take those that I need to add in selenium. I don't... But I probably should look into it. Same with my calcium a, I take a chewable wafer... Definitely not my favorite... But it gets the job done.

I'm with you with the sleeve of steel! I haven't found much that doesn't sit well with me. However, I have found that I'm stuffed right away, then hungry again within the hour. Perhaps I'm eating too fast, not sure.

Started my 2 week preop diet today. Trying a bunch of different Protein supplements. I know my tastes might change postop but I want to have something on hand for my first week.

Had 2 Protein Drinks so far this morning and I'm hungry! But I think it's probably more head hunger than body hunger.

Looking forward to my salad and salmon for lunch!!

      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!
