Hey y'all! I'm doing good. Losing about a pound a day. At the soft food stage. My stomach has been handling everything just fine. Haven't gotten sick once! I felt good enough to join a gym this week. Super yay! I'm REALLY excited to be gaining more energy!

My bathroom activity has been troubled quite a bit tho. :(

Dealing with a bit of head hunger at times and cravings still. But I haven't strayed from my diet.

That's all I can say for now. Thank you guys for checking in on me!

All I can say is thankfully that discomfort went away within a few days. But I will say I was unprepared for how it would feel. It reminded me of when I was pregnant for my first daughter and I carried REAL high so it was hard to take a breath. That's what it felt like post op. and the morphine only took the edge off that kind of pain. I had one sleepless night. And was ill tempered as a result!!

I'm really doing well. Still no issues.. Yay! It's not severe, but I have periodically felt sorry for myself. I know it's just a phase. And I feel bad for feeling that way. But i still follow the rules. And this week I was able to complete an hour long Zumba class THREE TIMES!!

You will!

I was at an event today and got my first dose of attention on account of the weight loss. It was weird. For someone who is comfortable around groups of people, I didn't know what to do or how to react! Lol!

Surgery was May 15 - down over 50. Yesterday I had to attend a funeral while I am out of town. I brought a couple of dresses and a pants suit in case of dressy events (size 20). I tried on my clothes and they all fell off. I was shocked... Had to run to Belks and pick up a dress. Imagine my surprise when I bought a size 14 even though the sales person thought I should have gotten the 12. People at the Funeral constantly complimented everything. It was almost overwhelming the amount of attention that I received... New days - got to learn to Rock this sleeve & new body.... Blessings Y'all!

      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!
