Rough day with some buyer's remorse moments. I haven't felt even close to decent since the surgery. I am living on sugar free Popsicles and tiny sips of Water. The spoonful of yogurt I tried made me miserable. I managed a short walk around the block. I've only lost 6 lbs since surgery. Please tell me this gets better because I feel horrible.

Campka: poopoo's? If so sometime the lactose may bother you.

That's what is then

Are you feeling better now?

Hey! I'm doing good and feeling better thanks. I have a slight pain on my upper left side. Started a few moments ago. Not too bad just uncomfortable. Calling my Doc about that in morning.

How are you all?

Is anyone use to their new lifestyle yet? Each day is getting easier for me but I still have that feeling that i will never get use to this.

We are all so new at this. We will get used to it and things will progress that will make it all easier. Everyday I feel a little bit better. I know I will have rough days but the good days give me hope. I'm two weeks today from my RNY and one from my stricture surgery and I feel pretty good. Puréed foods scare the hell out of me. I should be cleared for them tomorrow. Hang in there!

I completely sympathize! Let me start by saying I am feeling much better, but the first few weeks were absolutely awful. At one point I ended up back in the hospital for dehydration and begged the coordinator to reverse my surgery. I have been told the 1st 5 wks are awful, so just know it does get better. Hang in there!

I had my surgery on Nov 14th and have lost 20 lbs. But now I'm stuck and haven't lost anything in a week. I'm doing everything right, but it's like my body is trying to hold on to every pound. Anyone else having this problem?

Mine was 27. It's getting better. Just have high expectations

i am 5 nights and 6 days post op. I'm still on pain medication and have a feeling I will be for quite awhile. Pain is just part of the process. This might sound corny but it works: try to focus on something else. Think about something that makes you happy. Make a list of what there is to be grateful for. These types of activities are helping me distract myself from the pain and soreness that the pain medication is unable to get rid of. I'm sorry that you are feeling pain (and sorry that I am feeling pain).

I wish you the greatest of success!

I have a feeling that the weight loss will get going as we heal more. I'm 6 days post-op and going home today from the hospital. I've been instructed to start my full liquid diet (but to take it easy). I'm just not going to worry about weight loss - I just want to get well and recover from surgery and then focus on the weight loss.

I am wishing you the greatest of success.

It will come off. Our bodies are just well, pissed. We have really abused them and now we are basically starving. I know they say patience is a virtue but its very difficult. :-).

just some ideas: (1) every day think at least one happy thought; (2) think about something to be grateful for - this will help refocus the thoughts. This is the approach I am trying.

      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!
