I'm down 14 lbs. I'm guessing I'm in the slow loser category. I am losing inches. I wish I could lose just tad faster but grateful. My hardest is mental. Trying to reassure myself that the sleeve will work and I will not fail.

I was sleeved May 22 and I'm down 28 pounds including my 1 week pre-op. Lost a total of 11 inches too:) I'm excited about that, but I know I won't keep losing that fast. I've just started soft foods and I think it's already slowing because I'm eating real stuff now. But I'm fine with that - I know there will be ups and downs, etc. The first week or so was really hard for me too. And the mental hunger is the worst!

Wow everyone is doing awesome. I assume I'm in the slow loser category too since I'm down 17 lbs. I've already lost 15% of my body fat which they didn't expect until the 6th week out. I'm still super happy with my results.

How much did you guys weigh at surgery?

Start weight 231

Sw 223

CW 206

I also get worried my sleeve will fail. Even moving from 4 to 8 oz an hour I was like oh geez am I stretching my sleeve too much? Now that I am on soft foods I get even more worried.

I was sleeved on may 21 and it is hard for me to still drink and 8 oz of anything! And if I eat a spoon of something I feel like I just came from a thanksgiving feast! I eat something every two or three days! It's crazy but I feel a lot lighter and less sluggish on an empty day!

I feel better on the emptier days too. Glad I'm not alone here!

It is crazy how everyone is different. I can drink like a champ and eat most things allowed by my diet. Usually I eat between 1/4-1/2 cup per meal.

      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!
