So I am 6 weeks post op, and since surgery I have lost 24 lbs since I started my journey I have lost 88lbs, I am half way there !!!

So at 6 weeks how do I feel... Well my energy is back to "normal" and I can tolerate most foods ( apart from really processed or deep fried) , I have learnt that thanks to the sleeve I can no longer " pig out" I simply can not get more food down and if I try I throw it up so what's the point ? Lol

My clothes are all so baggy but I am not spending a lot of money on new ones ... Yet:-)

I have had a few melt downs .. Because I can't eat or there is nothing I want and everyone else is eating cake and fries blah but I have had a couple of cokes lol that was good :-)

Also I hate the fact this website only used pounds... I have to convert everything because over here we use the metric system lol but in pounds it sounds like so much more, though you guys go on about getting into onederland ... Under 200lbs , to me that means nothing lol getting under 100kgs now that means something to me (which I achieved a few weeks ago)

Anyways I am plodding along slowly increasing my exercise.. My legs hurt all the time at the moment so I have to see my dr soon but yeah :-) can't complain to much

I'm American, but I live in Germany, so I use pounds and kilos. I just look at like I have two awesome milestones to achieve!

But anyway, good for you! Well done on your progress so far!

      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!
