I definitely know its going to be a struggle, but overall it definitely looks like you havent allowed falling short to totally deter you. Looking at the before to the now shows you have put in work...It is a good feeling to see that as long as we do what we need to do we can reach these realistic goals...I hope to have my surgery sometime next month and just want to be as successful as I can be because I know everyone is different. At the beginning for you was it really hard to get your liquids down, and have you had any dumping?

I have never experienced dumping and I think I thew up one time in the beginning but it was past my liquid stage the one thing I can say is Just take your time eating and drinking and when your satisfied stop don't over eat its painful and don't eat and drink at the same time at least allow a half hour apart

      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!
