Hi all! I am new to this app and still trying to figure some things out! I am striving for a May 6th date in TJ. I went through A Lighter Me. I have requested Dr. Lopez. Wondering if anyone else is having sleeve surgery around then? I'm so very excited but scared at the same time. This is just so wonderful and I can't believe I am finally getting this opportunity!

My surgery is set for May 13th. I had been doing great since seeing Dr and Nutritionist at my first appointments. Despite severe back and knee pain, I was going to the gym a couple times a week, recording what I ate on My Fitness Pal...etc.

but after eating a "normal" Easter dinner, I gained 6 of the 12 pounds that I had lost, I was devastated. I'm now on some strange last chance eating fixatin. I'm not over eating...not gaining. But I feel like I need to say goodbye for awhile to some of my favorite foods.

Im also trying to eat slower, chew more and not drink Water. Im gona be honest and tell you im nervous and doubting my ability to e happy post op with my decision

Anyone else struggling with this.

P.S.

As of today, I'm back to my 12 lb loss. The scale even dipped to 308 a few times. I guess I've been doing better than I thought. Just nervous.

      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!
