Oh and my post op is this Friday which is 9 days post op

Hey cmt7831, how are things?

I had my first post-op office visit and I'm doing well. I got to advance to the full liquid stage so excited. I ran and purchased yogurt. Those three teaspoons tasted so good going down!

I'm down 19 lbs from least office visit to present visit, with a total loss of 43 lbs from my highest weight to current weight. My cheeks hurt from smiling.

OMG! Awesome ! So excited for you! Yummy yogurt! I am doing so much better. Pain has finally stopped thanks to a few hours if a heating pad! I have so much more moving ability so I think I'm going to start walking! Starting 15 mins and building by 5 mins a day! Finally turned that corner. We are rocking our sleeves now! My preop appt is on Friday so ill have official numbers then . The other numbers were on my own weigher at home. Awesome job keep up the fantastic job! So proud of you my sleeve sister!

I totally love my heating pad. I found when I had gas and felt it in my back 30-60 mins on the heating pad and it was tooting later lol.

I got cleared to walk also, going to visit the track once the summer program is over at the track. I live on the third floor so steps were a restriction.

Keep up the great work you are doing.

I am hopefully going to be late July' date=' early August. It will depend on speed of (hopeful) approval and when they can fit me in I suppose. My best friend works for the surgeon and said that surgeries are usually scheduled two weeks out after approval.... Besides approval, my next big thing to work with is my school schedule. I am in nursing school and we go year round. I have a class with clinicals that ends July 23rd and I don't have another class that requires that kind of physical exertion until mid September. So I have about a 7 week window. We shall see....[/quote']

Yay

I like Atkins chocolate. I am now 4 days post-op and doing well at home. Not missing food although it does still smell good to me (I have read that some people get sick from the smell). The only thing that hurts me going down is the acid-reducer. I am in pain for about 5-10 minutes from that. Water, cold and hot liquids, and shakes all go down fine. I am excited to see what I am losing (surgeon asked me to wait until post-op 2 week appt) and cannot wait for the incisions to be less painful (only the one hurts...had to be an inch longer in the inside due to my mega large liver and extra accessory spleen! I have like 1.5 spleens...weird). Lol

      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!
