December 2013 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

The surgery is no more dangerous than gallbladder surgery.

We will be fine.

We need to do our part. Follow the directions. Get our heads right. Reach out to support groups / psychologists / forum members. If we do the things we need to do our odds of success and low complications are high.

You got this. We got this. Breath. We will be ok.

My surgery is Dec.16th. Today I've been scouring the site for recipes. Found several things that sound yummy. My dilemma is I CANNOT stand Protein powders. Nut has given me several to try but I literally gag regardless the flavor or what it's mixed with. Anyone have a favorite premade Protein Shake? Muscle milk doable but super sweet.

Isopure clear drinks may be worth a try.

      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!
