I agree' date=' gas pain is really bad! Hope you'll feel better soon, I started feeling like a human being yesterday, 3 days after the surgery and even slept on my stomach last night. Good luck!![/quote']

Omg I can't believe you were able to sleep on your stomach. I can't barely sleep on my side.

Thanks so much I am surprised I don't see the weight loss but but numbers don't lie !!

Do you measurements too. You will be really surprised and happy seeing that too. I have a hard time seeing my loss too. I did my measurements the other day and that made me feel better.

Kinsse first I got what's called the Duodenal Switch which is a little more extensive then the gastric bypass. I also eat sugar free pudding and cream Soups and also Greek yogurt. It's hard to get anything in really but I do. I also have alot of waters and alot of sugar free Popsicles I haven't really done much different I cannot wait will I can eat food tho! But you have lost 10lbs !! Congrats on that! My goal was to finally get under 300lbs! When I saw that I was 286 I cried I haven't been under 300 In a long time!

Ohh and your swelling could be worse than mine because I see how you have the lap the turned to open you could be alot more swollen and that where your weight is at too! But be proud you already lost 10lbs!!!

Oh no, this sucks but it shows you how important the hydration is... I hope you feel better soon! Remember that you can do Popsicles and it will count for like 3-4 oz of Water, depending on the size... Keeping my fingers crossed that it was first and last visit to ER! Take care!!!

      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!
