i ask the same question, even though your dr said your pouch is the size of an egg 2oz, do you all find you can eat more than that when it comes to certain foods? and i walk around with a water bottle, i am use to drinking 3 gallons a Water a day so 64 oz is killing me... the only pain i have in just muscle pain from my incisions and the fact the past 2 nights i have been so fatigued i fell going up the stairs.. so i may just start sleeping down stairs after my husbands leaves TDY. I do hope everyone is well and happy and your families are handling your recovery well and treating y'all great..

Has anyone tried a small sip after eating? I want just a small piece of ice or something but am scared to death! If we eat three meals and it takes the minimum of 30 minutes to eat and we can't eat 30 minutes before or after' date=' that's 4.5 hours a day we can't drink. I already don't get enough fluid! This isn't working!!!

Hi Jess I told my nut I have very large tonsils and there's no way I can't sip Water due to that. She said its ok if I really need it she just doesn't want me to do it constantly reason being I'll flush all my food out of my pouch quickly and cause dumping. But a lil tiny sips shouldn't hurt ;) I do sip a lil and luckily no dumping yet ( fingers crossed)

*Avoid “white” or simple carbs eat only complex carbs

* Drink!!! At least 64 ounces, 2 standard quarts Each day caffeinated beverages don’t count replace 1:1 with Water

Your doing awesome... I am scared to even go to my one month. I.e. want big numbers like 30 lBs, but I know that won't happen and it makes me so upset.

My doctor told me this would happen. It's our bodies getting used to our new ways but we will eventually start losing again.

      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.

        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!
