If there is gotta be one thing I miss ... It has got to be my husbands grillin.., he did country style ribs for him am his boys tonight . ThE smell of those ribs were to die for . This sleeve can really be challenging at times . But u just have to say no . I am 2 weeks an 3 days out from surgery I am doing Protein Shakes an 1 liter of Water a day . I go back to work on wed of next week and want to be under 200lbs . As of this morning I weighed 202.5 lbs . So far a total loss of 21.5 lbs so ain't ruining it now. Remember u new sleevers out there just say no to food when it smells good an think about the scale... Good nite y'all ..

My husband brought pizza, bread sticks, and chicken for dinner last night! The aroma drove me nuts. To be honest I did have one bite of pizza.

It's very hard! My surgery is Friday, if i was single and kid free it would be so easy by not allowing the food in my house. I'm learning to accept accountability. Today is a new day!! =)

I've had several moments like these the last 2 weeks and honestly don't know how I didn't lose control and eat it all up! But I didn't. Grilled hotdogs have never smelled like such a delicious thing until last night when I couldn't have one. I took a bath instead :)

My surgery is in the morning. Only Clear Liquids for me today.

I gave in and tried some ribs about two months ago (surgery was 8-8-13), I got horrible sick afterwards. I thought for sure I was going to vomit, it was so so close. I also gave in about a month ago and tried a grilled hotdog, I cut the skin off and thought the middle would be fine. NOPE! It felt like it was logged in my stomach and wouldn't digest. I actually felt like I had a huge rock laying in my stomach. So now even just the smell of hotdogs or ribs makes me want to gag. So far I can't do anything with red sauce, which is good in a way, no pizza, no spaghetti, nothing covered with barbeque sauce.

      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!
