So I totally let the excitement of seeing the surgeon on Thursday and just nearing the end of the pre-op process get the best of me. I've gained 3.2 lbs since my last weight check at home. I'm not discouraged just mad I allow myself to eat emotionally still. Grrrr.. Back to the grind today tho.. chocolate Protein Shake for Breakfast here I come! Have a good day my sleeve friends!

Monnica :)

I'm right in your boat Patriotsfan. I had been doing really well but really messed up this wknd. Went to a birthday party and another get together and ate everything I shouldn't. The only thing I stayed away from was alcohol. I'm back to my French vanilla Protein Shake this morning.

It is hard, but I'm doing it. Can't wait to fill up on my chicken broth and natural applesauce! Oh Yum! Lol Which brand do you use for Protein Shakes? French vanilla sounds good! I only use the Syntrax Nectar sweets in chocolate, I can handle the strawberry, but the vanilla tasted like a cake batter and I couldn't get it down. I'd love to get creative but I'm really fussy. Ideas??

Right now I'm drinking generic slim fast shakes, mostly to make sure I'm at my starting weight when I see my surgeon for the last time on April 24th. I can look at food and gain weight!!

So do you have a surgery date yet or is that what the 24th visit with the surgeon is all about?

No. My insurance requires a 6mo supervised program. I'm finished May 7 so I will hopefully be approved a few days after and will be set for surgery the end of May. The surgeon won't give a date without insurance approval first. How about you?

      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!
