So I was tired of having plain beef broth so I heated up some veggie beef Soup and strained it. It is a bit thicker in consistency and boy did my sleeve let me know. I was getting a bit worried that I was taking liquids so well without any restriction. Good to have the confirmation....

It could also be that you're still very much healing. When I started the Protein Shakes I couldn't stomach the pre-mixed ones without thinning them out quite a bit. Now at 2 weeks out, they're okay straight from the box/bottle. Slowly though!

I am on day 5 and I had a thicker based Soup with no problems. I can tell when too much.

I had no problems getting it down. It was just awesome to feel the fullness for the first time since surgery. I've been taking thin liquids great but not feeling any restriction. It was cool to see that with just a bit thicker consistency my stomach noticed and told me.....I'm probably not making much sense...

Do you still supplement with Protein Drinks to get in enough Protein?

I am about 4 weeks out. I usually have about 2 oz of pureed food and get full. I think there was one time where I was able to get 4 oz in.

You are making perfect sense. You will have that experience at each stage. Or should I say I have. Best Wishes

I am almost 4 weeks post and can get around 3 to 4 oz of chicken or tuna down before my sleeve says hey, think I am done here.

I always get the hiccups when i eat too much....nice alarm clock for me :) However, I can eat more sometimes and less others. I'm sure this is common for many.

      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!
