I had a stall around 3-4 weeks and it lasted well over a week. Good news is it doesn't last forever so hang in there. From what I have read a stall around the one month mark is pretty common.

So, I've got a weird question. It seems that my pouch doesn't handle things the same in the morning as it does in the late afternoon/evening. For example, if I drink milk in the morning, it doesn't sit right. My tummy gurgles and feels heavy if I drink it later in the day it's fine. Its not just milk. Does this happen to anyone else?

My pouch is slow to warm as well. Most mornings I'm luck to get down a cup of hot tea. But my lunch I'm starving :-). Every pouch has its own quirks I guess!

I had my surgery July 16th and it seems like about an hour after I eat my intestines start to burn and I get bad gas. It's driving me nuts. Does this happen to anyone else?

      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!
