Glad you are recovering so well. I had an easy recovery too, but a bit of a word of warning - easy does it! I was feeling awesome about a week out until I overdid it one day with shopping, decorating, baking, etc. and woke up with stomach pain at 3:00 in the a.m....thought I had a leak and was freaking out. I realized that I just did too much that day and needed to give myself a break, so the next day was bedrest and I was feeling better. Just don't want you do too much too soon. :)

How about eating. I tried some real Soup (not broth) and I am miserable. I was sleeved in the 10th.

I had a couple of bites and stopped. I go to mushy stuff on Saturday and I am a bit skeptical about doing so. What are you eating. Still full liquids?

Well during the clear liquid stage I was having really bad heartburn and as soon as I went to full liquids I made a nice soup very well blended and I haven't had heartburn since....just make sure there are no really solid parts of that soup.....I guess u can say the soup actually helped me...

It feels great to hear that. i could imagine your cloud 9 status. However you got to stick to low calorie diet now and follow a healthy living through nice work out each day.

Good luck

Your absolutely right....today I joined the gym and began light working out....I'm still in the full liquid stage so nothing too solid as of yet but I'm looking forward to embracing my new low calorie life style.. Thanks for your encouragement:)

Be very careful. I was sleeved 12-10 and I felt soooo good that I finished up my shopping. Baking and all the Christmas things that have to be done this time of year AND bam!!! It came up to bite me in the butt. One of my incisions is extremely painful. I have to lay low and wear this waist band around my midsection. Feels like someone is stabbing me in the gut. So this girls is laying down and taking it easy for a few more days.

      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!
