Hi everyone, I am 2 1/2 years post op and I've gained 35 lbs. I'm getting married in June and instead of losing weight I keep gaining. Has anyone had the same problem? Does anyone know how what stage should do start on so I can shrink my stomach again? Any info would be appreciated.

I have found that if I do 3 days of just Protein shakes it really helps get my restriction back. After that, I try to do one day a week with just Protein Shakes to keep my restriction tight. Not for everyone, but it works for me.

That might be a way to kickstart yourself. Good luck to you and congratulations!

I got married October 2013 and the year leading up to it was so stressful. I think that had a LOT to do with my 30lb weight gain. I had not been sleeved until after the wedding, but just wanted to share with you that I truly think the stress did it to me. I know you probably dont have much extra time to exercise and workout because you are probably super busy. My suggetion to you is to try to do a liquid diet for 3 or 4 days to restrict your stomach some and then do low/no carb for the time remaining up until your wedding. I tried that before and was able to drop 40lbs in about 2-3 months (before my sleeve). I would have fruit for Breakfast and then just eat meat and veggies the rest of the day. I'm not sure how much time you have until your wedding, but best of luck to you and congrats!

      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!
