I'm about ready to eat something I'm not supposed to just to see what happens

Don't do it. I promise you will regret it. Dumping isn't fun. I would suggest you weigh twice a week and keep up with your Fluid intake annd output. You may be losing actual weight but retaining Water. Also watch your sodium.

Hi guys! Surgery went well but I feel like crapola. Still got my morphine drip but I think it's mostly gas. I wish it would pass already. They brought me my first "meal" but I'm having a hard time taking much in... Just don't feel like it ya know? Maybe a few more sips. Popsicles and cold stuff- not my friend! Can't believe how small the incisions are. Hopefully home tomo :) hope alls well!

So glad everything went well. It is uncomfortable, but you will do great! Hang in there, the first couple of days... Not much fun, but it gets better everyday!

I think your body will fight the process for a bit. It is holding onto whatever it can. Don't worry, I am sure the weight will start coming off. I decided to weigh only on Fridays because the day to day is up and down so much. It's hard to wait a week, but I think it gives better accuracy at where you are at. Good Luck. Don't be discouraged!! You got this!

I only weigh a couple times a week. It would be to discouraging to see that scale go up and down and up and down. So far everytime it has been down even if just by a little bitty bit. And that keeps me a bit saner.

I know this feeling too well. it's the only part of this whole ordeal I'm not liking. I've never had to layer up in a house that's on 70 degrees. normally my window is cracked open.

      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!
