Trying yet best opportunity of my life.



Recommended Posts

I had RNY on November 21st and it has been a roller coaster. I have had no complications and healed up so quickly and well. I have been so positive except on the scale. I can't help but weigh myself daily. I got discouraged when the numbers weren't changing, but once I looked at the whole picture, I felt better. The first week I weighed in at 12 lbs lost, 2nd week was 3.5 lbs lost and 1 lb lost so far this week with weigh-in on Wednesday. Are these types of numbers normal?

Also, I am on full fluids for one more week, and I kind of cheated and had 2 shrimp tonight, and it seems to have gone well. I am so grateful for this journey and opportunity, but it can be scary still!

I have been told to keep my starting weight in mind and that this may be why I am going slower. I went into surgery at 267

      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.

      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!
