Hahahaha I love it!!!! Stay in touch! How's it been for you so far?

Besides this crazy side cramp/sharp pain that I've had for a week now & put me in the ER Sun am...all is good! We had our work weightloss challenge final weighout today & it was 17lbs so I know I'm down that at least from my highest which was pretty much the same as my preop diet weight. Had no pain or nausea. But now I dont seem to like much. Cottage cheese is about it & milk & fudgecicles. Not getting Water in today at all...boo...but pants are baggie!

I definitely feel that. I never thought I could be so un-excited about losing massive amounts of weight in a week, but in the greater context of feeling so "blah", it just isn't as awesome :( hope you feel better soon!

Maybe some sublingual B-12 complex would give u a boost! You are doing great. Get your rest but make urself get up & walk some. One day at a time, trust me, I know.

Question? When you are eating grilled fish do you count raw as your measurement for ounces or when it's cooked? Want to make sure I'm accurate...

I think I;m having the 3 week stall too. Oh well. I guess the scale will move eventually; I did have a couple of incisions open up a little when the stitches came out. I've been nursing them for 2 weeks and they are finally healing pretty well.

I'm down 21 lbs and waiting for more to fall off!

Glad to hear all of you are doing well too. Is anyone still extremely tired?? I am!

Hi group! I just joined the community and this is my first post :-) I am 1 week and day post-op, and down 11 lbs. I was just given the "OK" to move on to creamed Soups. I have celiac disease, so finding a good gluten free Soup has been rather difficult...plus nothing tastes good or looks good to me. I also have trouble with gluten free Protein shakes...either I can't find them, or they taste terrible.

I am feeling better each day, but I do struggle with stomach spasms, and I have diarreah all the time...normal?

Any suggestions on GF soups and Protein Shakes would be MUCHO appreciated :-)

Today is two weeks and one day for me post op! I'm down 29.6 pounds! I am tired most days and I was supposed to go back to work originally today, but I had severe left side pain about four days ago got scared and the doctor signed off on me staying home another week! Started mushy good yesterday! Yummy! Loving the refried Beans, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt and best of all my Protein count has increased tremendously! I can usually eat a 1/2 cup of food it takes me the 30 minutes to get it in!! Feeling less pain in left side today so hopefully I'm done with that! I started at 250 and am 220.4 today! 5' 5" tall

      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!
