I was sleeved on Tuesday and doing great! I'm not ready to run a marathon by any means, but the pain is tolerable. I slept 8 straight hours last night, so this morning was very painful, trying to get out of bed. So....tonight, I'm going to set my alarm half way through the night, so I can walk around the house and sip, sip, sip. 8 hours of not drinking or walking was way too long! My bed just felt so good after two nights in a uncomfortable hospital bed.

The recovery is not as bad as my hysterectomy, but more painful than my Lapband. So....really not bad at all!

I'm May 21st and getting more nervous by the day!

I'm also Tuesday, went for pre admission testing today. I'm getting sad about the feeling that I'll never be able to eat anything that I used to, but I know the benefits are worth it. Being in this liquid diet really sucks, especially not being able to eat with my family. No matter how you cut it there is a huge social factor involved with food that I'm going to miss.

I'm Tuesday also. But don't believe that you will not be able to eat what you use to. Not the same amount. I know many many that have had surgery and no one has ever said something was totally forbidden. With time you will have it. Socialization become less about the food and more about the people and the occasions being celebrated. Your life will sky rocket the healthier you get. We can do this!

Just got my pre-op call from the hospital! My surgeon's office called to confirm this morning. I've lost about 14 lbs on the pre op diet and feel great. Not looking forward to full liquids Sunday. Ugh.... But bring on Monday!!!!

I just had my surgery this past Monday and it has been hard but today has been better! The really hard thing for me is all the liquid intake. My doctor wants me to consume between 50 to 60 ounces per day and right now I'm lucky to get 30! But I have been able to get down about 50 grams of Protein per day. Gotta stay positive it will get easier with time!! My husband is also getting sleeve next week. Please keep us in your prayers we are doing this together :)

      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!
